For The First Time, a New State of Matter Has Been Observed in a Thread of Quantum Gas – ScienceAlert

Physicists have observed a new state of matter at work inside an elusive thread of quantum gas.
The gossamer-thin strings of gas capable of binding giants sound like items worthy of a quest in Grimms’ fairy tales. But versions of these materials are theoretically possible in physics – unfortunately though, in practice they inevitably collapse on forming.
Researchers from Stanford University in the US have now found they can create such a material that’s stable enough to resist collapsing into a…
