Plasma is the fourth state of matter.

Yes, there are several other states of matter in addition to the most familiar states of solid, liquid, and gas. Super-heated, glowing matter (which can be seen in a fire, or in the sun) is in a state called plasma. Liquid helium as it closely approaches absolute zero (minus 273o Celsius) has a superfluid phase which is significantly different from ordinary liquids. Ultra compressed matter in a neutron star is in a state called degenerate matter. And most exotic of all, is the Bose-Einstein condensate, a form of matter in which many atoms can be superimposed upon each other in the same location.
