A NEW STATE OF MATTER ADDED TO THE LIST!!
A new feather added to the wings of the science and technological world by a team of scientists from Germany and the Netherlands. To begin with there are six states of matter - solid, liquid, gas, plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate and the Fermionic Condensate (in 2003 by Deborah Jin) already discovered. We all know the liquid,water and gas. The only difference in the latter two is that Bose-Einstein condensates are made up of bosons which are subatomic particles with even number of electrons,protons and neutrons and attract with each other (in groups, or clumps). Example of boson is gluon. Fermi condensates are anti-social (they don't attract each other at all). This has to be done artificially. And they have odd number of electrons,protons and neutrons.Example potassium-40 Both exist nearly at -273°C The rigorous experiments of these scientists using a technology called confocal microscopy lead them to discover a new state of matter called Liquid Glass which exists un...
