A team at the University of Innsbruck has shed light on the behavior of supersolids, a phase of matter that combines crystalline rigidity with frictionless fluidity. Using magnetic fields to rotate a supersolid quantum gas, researchers discovered that quantum droplets arranged in a crystalline structure began to move in periodic order, surrounded by a superfluid.
