MIT Physicists Create New Form of Matter

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fluid-gases dept.

Ninwa writes "According to the MIT news office the folks in their labs have really outdone themselves this time, they've created a new form of matter. The post states, 'They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity.' It has been said that this could solve the mysteries in superconductivity."

    The article works fine, this is not informative at all, its redundant.

      Karma whoring is not informative.
      Why is there a contradiction between karma whoring and the post being informative?

      The important part is whether people (or mods, more accurately) appreciate the post. What do the posters intentions matter? What if I write a +5 Insightful post just for the sake of karma -- Would the fact that I did it for karma that make it less insightful? Or could it be that it is the actual content of the post that matters?

      In my opinion, copying the article is informative regardlessly of whether the article is slashdotted -- it's one less click to read it.

    So does this new form of matter really... matter?

    Go back to sleep. When the affordable android Natalie Portman fuck-toys appear, we'll let you know.

  6. Intelligent Design? by jimijon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just wondered how this fits in the evolution vs. creationism vs. intelligent design debate? Seems to me that everytime we invent something from our dreams we creationists. Now put our little creations together into something that is useful and we are intelligent designers, finally, have someone improve on the design and we are evolutionists.
