New form of matter created in lab BBC - January 2004


Scientists have created a new form of matter saying it could provide a new way to generate electricity. The fermionic condensate is a cloud of cold potassium atoms forced into a state where they behave strangely. The new matter is the sixth known form of matter after solids, liquids, gasses, plasma and a Bose-Einstein condensate, created only in 1995.

US Physicist creates new type of quantum matter New Scientist - January 2004 A long-sought new form of matter has been created for the first time. The matter, called a fermionic condensate, consists of atoms that are ordinarily forbidden to exist in the same quantum state but have been tricked into it by linking into pairs. It could help lead to the next generation of superconductors for use in electricity generation, more efficient trains and countless other applications.
