In The Field
APS: When is a solid not a solid? When it’s a supersolid.
One of the advantages of being just one editor in an editorial team is that when something comes along that you just don’t get, you can always try to pass responsibility for handling submissions on that topic to someone else. For me, supersolids was one of those things. They’re fluids, superfluids in fact, but they have characteristics of a solid. What?!? Try as I might, I couldn’t get my head around it.
