New state of matter found Posted on October 23, 2008 by Robin In addition to gas, liquid and solid we now also have “quasi-three- dimensional electron crystal”, which is sort of 3D, but not quite. Strange stuff, and the boffins are looking at it to see what they can do with it, but as they discovered it in a resistor, there’s a good chance this will be of use to minituarise computer chips, allowing us to make them even faster.
