The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has announced the winners of the 2016 Nobel Prize in physics. Three British-born scientists won for revealing the secrets of exotic matter, the Nobel jury said, Deutsche Welle‎ reports.

"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."

The trio's research was conducted in the 1970s and 80s. The Nobel Foundation often awards discoveries made decades ago, to make sure they withstand the test of time.
