Scientists Turn Light Into a “Supersolid” Form for the First Time—a Quantum Physics Revolution
Scientists have achieved something never seen before—light has been transformed into a state that defies physics. It flows like a liquid yet holds its structure like a solid. This breakthrough could reshape everything we know about quantum matter.
Unlike previous experiments requiring ultracold atoms, the light-based supersolid might be more stable and controllable, making it an ideal platform for future quantum computing and optical technologies. Future research will focus on stabilizing and manipulating supersolid light in ways that could revolutionize multiple industries, from fundamental physics to technological advancements in photonics and computing. The ability to engineer light as both a fluid and a solid could fundamentally change the way scientists approach quantum materials and their applications in the modern world.
