Scientists to Turn Boson Atoms into Supersolids that Behave as Solids and Superfluids

Physicists at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland
have proposed a recipe for turning ultracold "boson" atoms-the ingredients of
Bose-Einstein condensates-into a "supersolid," an exotic state of matter that
behaves simultaneously as a solid and a friction-free superfluid.
