Humblonium: Classical Atoms and the Earnshaw Plasma
  It is shown that electrostatic and diamagnetic forces can combine to give long lasting metastable bound dimers of macro and mesoscopically sized objects for a physically attainable material regime. This can be a large enough effect to support itself in a trap against Earth's gravity and they can stable at very high temperatures. For a more restricted material parameter set, we investigate the possibility of stable many particle collections that lose their identity as bound pairs and create a kind of plasma. These would constitute a kind of transitional state between fluids and granular materials but, unlike usual approaches, the fluid is a gas rather than a liquid.
