Scientists feel Jahn-Teller Metals could help them understand the physics behind high temperature superconductors.

Till now we have known 3 states of matter: Solid, Liquid and Gas.

Science Advances published these findings in their journal recently.

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter, called ‘Jahn-Teller metals’

When a material conducts electricity without any resistance, it is a superconductor of electricity.

However, scientists have seen that superconductivity can be achieved only at relatively higher temperatures i.e.

The team introduced rubidium into carbon-60-molecules that was arranged in the form of hollow spheres known as fullerenes.

As per the report at Motherboard:

This is what the rubidium atoms do: apply pressure.

The molecules hang on to their old shapes.
