14. 4He. The supersolid retains the crystalline order of the pair Wigner crystal but also exhibits superconductivity, presumably as a result of excess Cooper pairs that cannot be accommodated in the crystal. This picture would explain another enduring mystery in cuprates: that the superfluid density is proportional to doping x and not to the total electron density 1 - x.
