Quantum liquid becomes solid when heated
https://phys.org/news/2023-04-quantum-liquid-solid.html
"supersolid state for the first time beyond doubt in ultracold quantum gases... heating the quantum liquid can lead to the formation of a quantum crystal. The theoretical model shows that as the temperature rises, these structures can form more easily... surprising behavior, which contradicts our everyday observation, arises from the anisotropic nature of the dipole-dipole interaction of the strongly magnetic atoms of dysprosium"
