• •Physicists have created a bizarre state of matter made of molecules
• •The molecules are cooled to close to absolute zero and lock in step, making a single gigantic quantum state
• •The system could be used to explore exotic physics, such as by creating solid materials that can flow without resistance, or could form the basis of a new kind of quantum computer

Physicists have succeeded in cooling down molecules so much that hundreds of them lock in step, making a single gigantic quantum state. These systems could be used to explore exotic physics, such as by creating solid materials that can flow without resistance, or could form the basis of a new kind of quantum computer.
