String-net liquid is a theoretical concept in condensed matter physics that describes a state of matter characterized by highly entangled excitations that can be visualized as "strings" or "networks." This idea is primarily motivated by the study of topological order, which is a type of order that can exist in certain quantum systems beyond conventional symmetry-breaking phases like solids, liquids, and gases.
