Scientists turn light into a 'supersolid' for the 1st time ever: What that means, and why it matters
59% Informative
Researchers have transformed light into a 'supersolid' — a strange state of matter that is both solid and liquid at the same time.
This is the first instance of coupling light and matter to create a supersolid.
Supersolids require extremely low temperatures to form — usually very close to absolute zero .
With more research and development, supersolids could be used for quantum computing, superconductors, frictionless lubricants.
