Physicists Spot Quantum Tornadoes Twirling in a ‘Supersolid’
SMRTR summary
Austrian physicists have captured images of quantum vortices in a supersolid, confirming the existence of this paradoxical phase of matter. The supersolid, which behaves as both a solid and a frictionless fluid, could help explain phenomena in high-temperature superconductors and neutron stars. This breakthrough may provide insights into matter under extreme conditions and pulsar glitches in astronomy.
