<h2 id="content-id-1746158027320-1"><strong>The world's first 'supersolid' has been created using light</strong></h2>

<p>Researchers have successfully created a light-based supersolid, a new phase of matter combining properties of solids and superfluids. This discovery, made by scientists at CNR-INO, CNR-Nanotec, and the University of Pavia, uses semiconductor nanostructures to manipulate light into a supersolid phase. The supersolid maintains coherent quantum droplets while allowing frictionless flow. This breakthrough has significant implications for quantum computing, materials science, energy storage, and optical technologies, potentially advancing photonic applications and transforming device technology.</p>
