A new State of matter
A new state of matter has been explored by physicists. For so long time, we
have believed that matter could only exist in liquid, sold, or a gaseous state.
However, quantum mechanics scientists did a fascinating experiment that
revealed a new form of matter that includes splitting of the electron. Irish
Physicists exposed ruthenium trichloride to a huge particle accelerator by
which they shoot neutrons at the sample, and they observed the pattern that
the bounced back neutrons made. The electrons of the sample acted as if they
were split, however, they didn`t literally. What actually happened is that the
antimatter of the electrons have been produced, which are called
quasiparticles. The scientists have observed the presence of quantum spin
liquid, which can open up new avenues in material science.
