Understanding the origins of life

In the "EXplained" series, we provide insights into the seven Clusters of Excellence at our university. The final episode focuses on ORIGINS, represented at TUM by Prof. Stefan Schönert from the Chair of Experimental Astroparticle Physics.

Supersolid spins into synchrony

Supersolids, a state of matter that combines the rigidity of a solid with the frictionless flow of a superfluid, exhibit surprising synchronization when rotated. Innsbruck researchers found that quantum vortices—tiny whirlpools in the quantum fluid— cause the precession and revolution of the superfluid crystal structure to synchronize their motion. This discovery provides a new tool for studying fundamental properties of quantum systems.
