BREAKING NEWS! Strange matter wins Physics Nobel
The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded for discoveries about peculiar kinds of matter.
They were named at a press conference in Sweden, and join a prestigious list of 200 other Physics laureates.
In odd states, matter can exist in this mysterious kingdom.
Their discoveries had helped scientists designing new materials.
Prof Haldane commented: “I was quite surprised and very gratified.”
He said that its uses were just now beginning to be found, although the work had been carried out a number of years past.
