New State of Matter Found

Scientists have found evidence of a hidden state of matter that exists between solid and liquid. This new state, called "glassy liquid,” is found in amorphous solids, which are materials that lack the regular atomic structure of crystals. In a glassy liquid, the atoms are still arranged randomly, like in a liquid, but they are also less mobile, like in a solid. This gives the material some of the properties of both liquids and solids. The researchers found that, in the glassy liquid state, the atoms are able to move around more easily than in a solid, but they are still more restricted than in a liquid. This is an important discovery as it could also lead to the development of new materials with unique properties, such as materials that are more resistant to deformation or that have better thermal conductivity.
