Scientists Achieve Breakthrough by Transforming Light into a Supersolid with Liquid-like Flow

Researchers have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by transforming light into a supersolid for the first time, significantly advancing the study of quantum states of matter within condensed matter physics. Led by Dimitrios Trypogeorgos from Italy’s National Research Council, this breakthrough builds on previous work that demonstrated light’s fluid-like behavior but takes it a step further by creating a unique material exhibiting both solid-like and fluid-like properties without viscosity. The experiment utilized a semiconductor, aluminum gallium arsenide, and involved directing a laser at its specially patterned surface, resulting in the formation of hybrid particles known as polaritons that coalesced into a supersolid state. While further analysis is needed to fully understand this novel state, the findings could pave the way for innovative applications in quantum technology and deepen our understanding of matter’s fundamental properties.
