With much more to uncover about the behavior of this new state of matter, scientists are keen to delve deeper into its nuances, potentially uncovering groundbreaking applications in the coming years.

At first, the photons settle into a state with zero momentum, but as this state 'fills up', pairs of photons begin to spill ...

Is Ranch Dressing a Liquid or a Solid? Imagine you’re sitting down for dinner. You pick up a bottle of ranch dressing, flip it upside down, and expect it to pour onto your plate. But nothing happens.

With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold ...

A recent study evaluating garnet-type solid electrolytes for lithium metal batteries finds that their expected energy density advantages may be overstated. The researchers posited that composite or ...

Ranch dressing is actually a fifth state of matter known as soft matter. Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and solids, so materials scientists say it is viscoelastic – a combination of ...

New research reveals light can behave as a supersolid, paving the way for advancements in quantum computing and optical ...

Solid-state batteries are considered next-generation energy storage technology as they promise higher energy density and safety than lithium-ion batteries with a liquid electrolyte. However, major ...

Supersolids are strange materials that behave like both a solid and a fluid due to quantum effects – and now researchers have created an intriguing new type of supersolid from laser light ...

It won’t be until 2030 that the Chinese automaker puts solid-state batteries in their more budget-friendly models. With lithium-ion battery prices plummeting, it’s only a matter of time until ...
