Is it possible that matter exists in a state unknown until now? Thanks to new theoretical calculations made by the researcher Alexander Rozhkov of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, the possible existence of fermionic matter in the form of a single-dimensional liquid appears on the scene .
Fermions and bosons are the two basic types of particles that exist in nature, but, in the standard model of particle physics, fermions are the essential elements of matter .
Thus, of the already known states of matter, a new one is presented, the one-dimensional liquid state, since it cannot be described by existing models. And in fact, it is not an observable state with the naked eye , at the macroscopic level.
"At present there are two general models of fermionic matter, namely: the fermionic liquid (for three- and two-dimensional spaces) and the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (for one-dimensional spaces). Now, I have shown that it is possible produce another state of matter in one dimension by adjusting certain interactions . This state is similar to these two models, but it cannot be reduced to either. I have suggested calling it an aquasi-fermionic liquid, "says Rozhkov.
According to initial estimates, the new one-dimensional liquid state can be obtained using atoms cooled to very low temperatures in magnetic traps.
