Greece is one of the 13 EU members states that will proceed with projects aiming to bolster Europe's raw material ...

An international team of physicists created a "supersolid" made entirely of light, advancing the study of condensed matter. Led by Dimitris Trypogeorgos and Daniele Sanvitto at the National Research ...

Researchers in Italy have achieved a milestone by creating a special type of solid from light for the first time. The new solid, called 'supersolid, flows like a fluid and will help researchers ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in transforming light into a strange state of matter: the supersolid. This quantum material combines the properties of a crystalline solid and a fluid ...

Alfredo (he/him) has a PhD in Astrophysics on galaxy evolution and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces. We should not be imagining something like a magical glowing brick.

But in this experiment, the researchers replaced ultracold atoms with the semiconductor aluminium gallium arsenide and a laser. They shone the laser onto a small piece of the semiconductor that had a ...
