Scientists Create a New State of Matter at Room Temperature Using Light and Nanostructures

Engineering professor Wei Bao and colleagues have created a new and unusual state of matter — known as a supersolid — by engineering how light and matter interact inside a nanoscale device. The work, published in Nature Nanotechnology, demonstrates that this exotic quantum phase can exist at room temperature, overcoming a long-standing limitation in the field.
