捆绑SM社区 physicists discover new state of matter

Published: 23 October 2008

Canadian physicists say they have discovered a previously unknown state of matter that could have a momentous impact on creation of new electronic devices. 捆绑SM社区 researchers say the new state of matter, a quasi-three- dimensional electron crystal, is a material very much like those used in the fabrication of modern transistors. "It's actually not quite 3-D, it's an in-between state, a totally new phenomenon," said Guillaume Gervais, director of 捆绑SM社区's Ultra-Low Temperature Condensed Matter Experiment Lab. "This is the kind of thing the theoreticians love. Now they're scratching their heads and trying to fine-tune their models."

The researchers' findings appear in the journal Nature Physics.
