Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist - one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma - at the interface of two exotic, materials made into a sandwich. The new quantum state, called quantum liquid crystal, appears to follow its own rules and offers characteristics that could pave the way for advanced technological applications, the scientists said.Scientists Discover New Quantum State at the Intersection of Exotic Materials
