The atoms of a solid are strongly attracted to each other. Solids keep their shape because of these strong attractions. The atoms vibrate but do not move past each other.

A supersolid is a paradox of physics — a material that is both solid and liquid at the same time. This contradictory form of ...

Italian researchers have turned light into a quantum ‘supersolid’, an achievement which they called “pretty awesome”.

He concluded that all matter was made of tiny particles called atoms. He suggested that an atom was a tiny solid ball. He published his ideas in 1803. This atomic model has changed over time.

A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid. Their paper is published in the journal Nature. The ...

The movement of atoms in the liquid outer core generate the Earth's magnetic field and the planet's broad habitability. But while the center of our planet has long been thought to be a solid iron ...
