Helium-4 Doesn't Turn Supersolid at Low Temperatures Studies conducted at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) reveal that helium-4 may in fact not enter a weird state of matter known as “supersolid” when cooled down to extremely low temperatures.The idea stating that this happens has been proposed a long time ago, ... 18 May 2011 09:47 GMT Exotic State of Matter to Be Created with Ultracold Gas Atoms A new class of quantum materials is hinted at theoretically by researchers at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) and the University of Maryland. They propose a new method of turning ultracold gas atoms into a supersolid, which is a state of matter that behaves very int... 14 January 2009 05:18 GMT
