There are 7 states of matter; “topoconductor” isn’t one of them
There truly are more states of matter than just solid, liquid, and gas: a total of 7 states, all told.
But no, Satya Nadella, "topoconductor" isn't one of them at all.

A topoconductor is a newly engineered material that behaves like a superconductor but with quantum stability.
They allow Majorana particle creation, which is crucial for building topological qubits.
Topoconductors = Superconductors 2.0
