[Gerald]

The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three British-born scientists for revealing the secrets of unusual states of matter, leading to advances in electronics.

David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz will share the prize money of 8m kronor (£729,000).

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the trio "opened the door" to an unknown world where matter takes unusual states or phases.

It said: "This year's laureates opened the door on an unknown world where matter can assume strange states.

"They have used advanced mathematical methods to study unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids or thin magnetic films.
