Physicists create strange new quantum state, the fractional Fermi sea

Original: Physicists create a bizarre new quantum state called a fractional fermi sea

Physicists have created a new quantum state of matter dubbed a fractional Fermi sea, according to a report by Science Daily. The state is described as bizarre because it departs from conventional Fermi seas, where particles fill energy levels up to a sharp boundary. Researchers say the finding could deepen understanding of exotic quantum materials. Details of the experiment and its implications are still being digested by the physics community.

Why now: News of a novel quantum state of matter is a rare fundamental-physics advance that excites scientists and science followers alike.
