Scientists turn light into a 'supersolid' for the 1st time ever: What that means, and why it matters

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it's such a big step forward.
