A whole new state of matter

Forget solid, liquid, and gas. There's a whole new state of matter!!! Scientists at the FLASH free-electron, high intensity laser facility in Hamburg, Germany, have created a completely new state of matter, transforming aluminum into something “that nobody has seen before,” an exotic material which is transparent to ultraviolet radiation.Wark says that this will give them insight into the creation of miniature stars with high-power laser implosions, “which may one day allow the power of nuclear fusion to be harnessed here on Earth.” Or destroy us all
