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 ...

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and lossy to host such delicate order. Instead of destroying quantum coherence ...

Explore 25 Times Scientists Created Astonishing New States of Matter, from time crystals to supersolids. Discover how quantum ...

Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display 'superfluidity'—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously observed in helium. The new research is published in Science Advances by an ...

A research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei, Prof. WAN Zhensheng and Prof. DENG Youjin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) observed counterflow superfluidity in two-component ...

Duke University researchers may have reached a milestone in physics by cooling and confining a gas of lithium-6 atoms into a kind of oscillating “jelly” exhibiting group behavior uncharacteristic of ...

Superfluidity as a research area investigates quantum condensed phases of matter that exhibit frictionless flow, quantized circulation, and macroscopic quantum coherence, primarily in systems such as ...

(Nanowerk News) Matter that behaves like both a solid and a superfluid at the same time seems impossible. Yet, more than 50 years ago, physicists predicted that quantum mechanics allows such a state, ...
