    Rutgers physicists just discovered a strange new state of matter

    Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist – one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma – at the interface of two exotic, materials made into a sandwich.

    The new quantum state, called quantum…
