By shining a strong beam of light through two chemical compounds, scientists discovered a unique new state of matter made of particles called excitons.
Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a"bosonic correlated insulator," could lead to the discovery of many new types of exotic materials made from condensed matter, according to the researchers, who detailed their results in a study published May 11 in the journal Science.
Fermions, such as electrons and protons, are often thought of as the building blocks of matter because they make up atoms, and are characterized by their half-integer spin. Two identical fermions cannot occupy the same space at the same time. But there is a case in which two fermions can become a boson: If a negatively charged electron is secured to a positively charged"hole" in a different fermion, it forms a bosonic particle known as an"exciton."
