The headline is wrong. This is not a new state of matter, but a new type of chemical. Known states of matter are: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, Einstein-Bose condensate and neutron-degenerate matter. Einstein-Bose condensate is the coolest one, literally. When atoms approach absolute zero, their momentum is so small that their position (via indeterminacy principle) is so large that they start to superimpose on each other (plus other cool quantum effects).
