Scientists use photons as threads to weave novel forms of matter – Phys.org

New research from the University of Southampton has successful discovered a way to bind two negatively charged electron-like particles which could create opportunities to form novel materials for use in new technological developments.
Positive and negative electric charges attract each other, forming atoms, molecules, and all that we usually refer as matter. However, negative charges repel each other, and in order to form atom-like bound objects some extra glue is needed to compensate this elec…
