The researchers also discovered that if you combine two or more fermions, they can form a supersolid-like material. This could give physicists a way to create something that is much more stable than what we normally think of.

The research was published in the Physical Review Letters. You can see it in the full article here. It has been posted to the Physical Review Letters page.

More from The Scientist on the latest cosmology news:A former Navy SEAL and a former senior U.S. military commander are on trial for the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Center. The men, who are accused of having a "criminal enterprise" involving money laundering, were members of SEAL Team Six, a group of U.S. Army commandos who operated in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a lengthy affidavit filed in federal court, the SEALs say that they, along with other former SEALs who worked at SEAL Team Six, participated in the plot to kill an American citizen while on the run, and that they also engaged in the same activity in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The FBI and the FBI's Criminal Division, the federal government's top law enforcement agency, is prosecuting the men who are being tried as high-security terrorists. It's their first trial since the September 11 attacks.

The case centers around the use of a terrorist organization called the "Blackwater Army" in Iraq and Afghanistan to conduct terrorist attacks and to finance their operations. The Blackwater Army was formed in 2009 after the U.S. government ordered the U.S. military to train and equip an anti-ISIS coalition, known as the Iraqi Army, as part of its global "war on terror."

The Blackwater Army's mission is to "destroy and capture, in the name of the U.S. government and its allies, all terrorist organizations," according to the government's statement. The group operates in Iraq and Afghanistan under the command of Colonel William "Ryan" Bortles — a current SEAL who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bortles, now retired, met and dated former members of SEAL Team Six while working as a counterterrorism operative in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010. A joint investigation of the two groups by the FBI and the Pentagon concluded that "Blackwater and other terrorist groups have committed, and continue to commit, serious crimes against the United States and its allies," the government said in its statement.

Both men have pleaded guilty to federal charges.
