The superfluid-like behaviour of a condensate of polaritons at room temperature has been seen for the first time by researchers in Italy and Canada. Until now, such behaviour had only been observed at very low temperatures. As well as allowing physicists to study macroscopic quantum phenomena under ambient conditions, the research could be exploited in the development of photonic circuits that use light to process information.
