Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led by Innsbruck ...

A team of researchers has produced vortices within a supersolid, confirming superfluid behavior within this state of matter.

New observations of microscopic vortices confirm the existence of a paradoxical phase of matter that may also arise inside ...

Physicists predicted over 50 years ago that quantum mechanics allows for a state of matter that behaves like a solid and a ...

Scientists on Wednesday said that they have successfully stirred a strange matter called a "supersolid" – which is both rigid ...

Much of modern life depends on the coding of information into means of delivering it. A common method is to encode data in laser light and send it through optic cables. The increasing demand for more ...

Scientists have officially spotted characteristics of superfluidity (a quantum fluid with zero viscosity) inside a ...

Superfluid vortices are also believed to exist in superconductors ... "We can observe physical phenomena here in the lab that occur in nature only under very extreme conditions, such as in ...
