This one? > "In the last three decades, condensed matter physicists have discovered a wonderland of exotic new phases of matter: emergent, collective states of interacting particles that are nothing like the solids, liquids and gases of common experience." Stripped of most everything, the sentence reduces to "Physicists have discovered a wonderland". I'm almost wishing I could embed a graphic. It's been a while since I've diagrammed the grammar of a sentence. I wonder if students are still being taught how to do that. As an exercise, more for myself than what I actually think you need, I'll just do the rest: - What kind of physicists? Condensed matter physicists. - When have the physicists discovered this wonderland? In the last three decades. - A wonderland of what? Of exotic new phases of matter. - What are these new phases like? They're emergent, collective states of interacting particles that are nothing like the solids, liquids and gases of common experience. I hope that was the sentence you were referring to :)
