British-born scientists David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz share this year's Nobel Prize in Physics for their studies of unusual states of matter such as in superconductors, organizers said early Tuesday. The academy said the trio's work in the 1970s and '80s opened the door to a previously unknown world where matter takes unusual states or phases. Haldane, 65, is a physics professor at Princeton University in New Jersey. Kosterlitz, 73, is a physics professor at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
