Are there new states of matter at extreme tempetures and densities ? And Add a little heat, and molecules can be easily transformed from solids into liquids and then gases. But what happens at extreme temperatures? Does matter break down into a soup of subatomic particles called a quark-gluon plasma and then into energy?

At low temperature:
- superfluids (zero viscosity)
- Bose-Einstein condensates (atoms can be described as one wavefunction)
- fermionic condensates (similar to above, but from fermions)
- Rydberg molecules (condensation of excited atoms)
- Quantum Hall states
- strange matter (quark matter)
High energy states:
- quark-gluon plasma
Hypothetical states:
- degenerate matter
- supersolids
- string-net liquids
- superglass
- dark matter
