School pupil safety concerns have been raised amid delays in getting a puffin crossing up and running outside a rural primary ...

Were you a pupil at Knockmore Primary School between 2012 and 2016? Take a look at some photos from the Star archive and see ...

We all know that freezing is the process by which a liquid transforms into a solid, but believe it or not, a team of Italian scientists has managed to 'freeze' light. For the first time, they have ...

The scientists believe that light-based supersolids may be easier to work with than supersolids made using atoms. In the future, the team hopes to learn more about this quantum matter’s ...

Liam Neeson and Ciaran Hinds spent part of Christmas Day drinking whiskey together and watching James Martin in An Irish Goodbye. The get-together by the stars of In the Land of Saints and Sinners ...

A new 100 gigahertz chip that harnesses light – not electricity – to synchronise processors could unlock the future of high-speed AI computing, next-generation communications and remote ...

A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid. Their paper is published in the journal Nature.

Scientists have turned light into a supersolid for the first time in a groundbreaking new study. This milestone is a significant leap forward in condensed matter physics. Dimitrios Trypogeorgos from ...

In a remarkable development, researchers have successfully turned light into a supersolid for the first time, paving the way for new insights into the unusual quantum states of matter. This ...

An odd solid that can flow like a fluid has been created from light for the first time. Studying it will help researchers better understand exotic quantum states of matter. “We actually made lig ...
