Examples of such phenomena are magnetic excitations in low-dimensional materials, superconductivity in "heavy electron" magnets, and fractionally charged particles in a two-dimensional electron gas. A traditional route to understanding these kinds of emergent states is to create them in new materials. In this way, one can study states with different characteristics and either test theoretical descriptions of such states or realize entirely new states of matter.
