Scientists Create Supersolid From Helium
jabberjaw writes "Nature is reporting that Pennsylvania State University researchers Eun-Seong Kim and Moses Chan have created a 'supersolid' from helium-4. Although a crystalline solid, the supersolid can flow much like a liquid. This is due to the fact that the empty compartments in the crystal move coherently, thus waves can progress through the lattice. The supersolid state can be compared to the superfluid state. Perhaps a condensed matter physicist can dumb the article down for layfolk such as myself?"
FP!

For the time being you can get your fix here.

Ummm...no. Troll. You aren't going to get liquid or supersolid helium in a PC, what with the 60 atmosphere pressures, and temperatures hovering a hair away from 0 Kelvin.

It has some nasty scat, AND the goatse man. Avoid at all costs unless you're into those things.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Yeah I just laid your mom. She's pretty solid too.
It's Hertz, you fucking Nazi.
What's with these dozens of faggots posting "did anyone else read" comments to every fucking article?
