New form of matter ‘excitonium’ discovered
Scientists have proven the existence of new form of matter called excitonium - which was first theorised almost 50 years ago. Researchers from University of California and University of Illinois studied non-doped crystals of a transition metal— dichalcogenide titanium diselenide (1T-TiSe2). Excitonium exhibits macroscopic quantum phenomena, like a superconductor and is made up of excitons, particles that are formed in a very strange quantum mechanical pairing.
