    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Researchers discovered a novel electron liquid exhibiting frictionless flow near absolute zero. This quantum liquid features quasiparticles with fractional electron charge, leading to new condensed states observable via electrical measurements, known as the fractional quantum Hall effect.
