a. Quantum State Liquid
b. Quantum Spin Liquid
c. Quantum Matter Liquid
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Quantum Spin Liquid
 
A global team of scientists have found a new state of matter causing electrons (nature’s indivisible building blocks) to break into pieces.
  • State called quantum spin liquid is found in 2 dimensional material with structure similar to graphene
  • This state of matter was first predicted 40 years ago and is the new quantum state of matter which has been predicted, but not seen before
  • Magnetic properties of this state of matter have been studied as well.
