Oct 11, 2005 (New Scientist - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Professor Moses Chan, from Pennsylvania State University, is convinced that solids can pass through solids. He has created "supersolids", crystals that can move through each other. Jason Ho, a solid-state theorist at Ohio State University in Columbus, believes that Chan's experiment changes our view of matter. Quantum theory predicts that, close to absolute zero, atoms behave

like a single atom. As bosons can share the same quantum state, solids made of bosons would flow through each other.
