Quantum liquid becomes solid when heated

Solids can be melted by heating, but in the quantum world it can also be the other way around: In a joint effort, an experimental team led by Francesca Ferlaino in Innsbruck, Austria, and a theoretical team led by Thomas Pohl in Aarhus, Denmark, show how a quantum liquid forms supersolid structures through heating. The scientists obtained a first phase diagram for a supersolid at finite temperature.
