Matter is defined by how its particles cooperate with each other. A diamond, a cloud, lightning, and some of the coldest substances ever created in a laboratory can all emerge from the same underlying ingredients. Change the temperature, energy, or quantum rules, and billions of particles begin behaving in entirely new ways.

Near absolute zero the particles can stop acting like individuals altogether. Some merge into a single quantum state, while others pair up and move collectively.
