Physicists saw excitons, a type of quasiparticle, undergo a reversible phase transition from superfluid to supersolid for the first time, opening new doors for studying extreme states of matter.

Physicists have finally watched a fluid that should never freeze lock itself into a crystal pattern, then melt back again, ...

Supersolids are a strange quantum state of matter that combines properties of solids and liquids. Now they've gotten even more mind-bending, as scientists have transformed light itself into a ...

Supersolids show synchronized motion when rotated, as quantum vortices align the precession and revolution of their superfluid crystal structure. (Nanowerk News) A supersolid is a paradoxical state of ...
