Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a phase of matter that is at once rigid and frictionless. Instead of treating ...

Scientists Turn Light Into a “Supersolid” Form for the First Time—a Quantum Physics Revolution
In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have successfully transformed light into a supersolid, an unusual state of matter that exhibits properties of both a solid and a fluid. This discovery ...
Oscillations of photons create an image of frozen light. At first, photons in the experiment flow easily between two superconducting sites, producing the large waves shown at left. After a time, the ...
