Light has been made in a strange material called SuperSolid

A strange solid that can be spilled like a liquid has been created for the first time. Research research will help you understand the exotic quantum situations better understand.
“We strengthened the light. That’s pretty awesome,” he says Dimitris Trypogeergos In the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy. He did notice Daniele SanvittoIn CNR, it also shows what the light can be like more than a decade ago. Now TryPogeorGos, Sanvitto and colleagues have used light, not only not only solid “Superolo“.
They have supersolies at the same time Zero viscosity And a crystal-shaped structure, similar to the arrangement of atoms in salt crystals. These strange materials have no counterparts outside the quantum kingdom. Therefore, before, they have only been created in experiments with atoms Very low temperaturesOtherwise, they dominate the quantum effects.
In this experiment, however, researchers relate ultracold atoms with aluminum gallium arsenid and laser.
The laser shone in a small portion of the semiconductor had a narrow peak pattern. The complex interaction between light and material eventually completed a type of hybrid particle called Polariton. How to limit the Ridge Model “Quasiparticles“Move and what energy they could have was formed by the superoloid.
SANVITTO said the group had to be measured largely the properties of captured and transformed light to prove that it was a viscosity without a fluid. This was a challenge because scientists had never created and experimentally evaluated the superolid made of light Before, he says.
The new experiment helps physicists generally contribute to the transition of how quantum matter can change during the transition, Alboked Albor University of the Sorbonia in France. The team clearly showed that the superolid had made, but more measurements should be done to understand its properties, he says.
According to TrypogeorGos, light-based superides can easily manipulate them than those created with atoms, which could have the first step in his team’s experiment to understand the amazing types of novels and matter.
“We’re really at the beginning of something new,” he said.
