Story summary

Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, led by Francesca Ferlaino, observed synchronization phenomena in rotating supersolids.
They manipulated ultracold dysprosium atoms with magnetostirring, revealing synchronization of quantum droplets in the supersolid in response to external magnetic fields, with potential implications for neutron-star phenomena, published in Nature Physics.
The synchronization stems from quantum vortex formation.
