Physicists have discovered a new state of matter in superconducting materials
For decades, physicists have been trying to achieve superconductivity – the ability to carry an electric current with 100 percent efficiency – at room temperature, because it would change how we use electricity forever.

A peculiar property of all these high-temperature superconductors is that just before they enter the superconducting state, they invariably first enter the pseudogap state, whose origins are equally, if not more, mysterious than the superconducting state itself.
the pseudogap phase competes with and suppresses superconductivity, “If we can somehow remove this competition, or handle it better, we may be able to raise the operating temperatures of these superconductors.
in the pseudogap state, electrons form a highly unusual pattern that breaks nearly all of the symmetries of space.

So, what is it?
