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 has now demonstrated ...

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

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

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

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 ...

Researchers simulated the sun’s polar vortices using computer models, which suggest the vortices are likely driven by ...

They have observed tiny quantum vortices in the supersolid, which also behave differently than previously assumed. The work is published in Nature. Matter that behaves like both a solid and 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 ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold ...

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