World 2 - The police have no right to detain you but they CAN compel your answers:

"Did you kill your stepmother?"

The researchers call the new state of matter 'a quasi-three-dimensional electron crystal.' It was discovered using a device cooled to a temperature about 100 times colder than intergalactic space, following the application of the most powerful continuous magnetic field on Earth."
