Scientists Find Fifth State Of Matter At Material Interface

Scientists find fifth state of matter at material interface Physicists at Rutgers University have identified a quantum state that fits into none of the four familiar categories of solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Reported in Science Advances, the discovery emerged not from a single material, but from the boundary where two exotic ones meet. Eu₂Ir₂O₇ was combined with Dy₂Ti₂O₇. While Eu₂Ir₂O₇ is a Weyl semimetal in which electrons conduct through W…
