Quantum physics is revolutionizing the way we understand the world. We only know four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. But in the quantum world, the materials could be transformed and, under certain conditions, be in other states, such as the Supersolid State. An international team of researchers announced on March 5 in the scientific journal Nature, since it found a way of forcing laser light to transform into a supersolide, reports Phys.org.
An uncertain existence
It is difficult to simply explain what the supersolids are, since their nature is, by definition, counterintuitive. They combine both a structure similar to that of a glass, so solid, but they have no viscosity, which means that they can flow without resistance, as a fluid would do. This precise situation occurs mainly in an environment in which the temperature is …
