What happened

Many fascinating phases in quantum materials emerge when electrons, atoms and other microscopic components begin to act collectively.

But these phases do not necessarily appear out of nowhere when a material crosses a transition temperature.

A quantum prediction from 1931 just came to life

Nearly a century after physicist Hans Bethe predicted them, scientists have created and directly observed unusual quantum states known as “Bethe strings” in an ultracold gas.
