U.S. government scientists have developed a new phase of matter dubbed 'half ice, half fire,' which unites opposing electron ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a new phase a matter called ...

The new phase comes in the form of a pattern of electron spins—half of which are highly ordered, or "cold", and the rest of ...

An exotic state of matter has been found lurking within a previous exotic state that was discovered in a magnetic compound ...

Electrons have a property called spin, which is akin to the angular momentum, like that of a spinning top. They can point in ...

In a groundbreaking twist, scientists have stumbled upon a new state of matter, intriguingly dubbed 'half ice, half fire'.

For the first time in history, a new, peculiar condition of matter known as "half ice, half fire" was produced. A new ...

Scientists have discovered a surprising magnetic spin phase where order and disorder mix, challenging old ideas.

"Next, we are going to explore the fire-ice phenomenon in systems with quantum spins and with additional lattice, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom," said Yin. "The door to new possibilities ...

“Next, we are going to explore the fire-ice phenomenon in systems with quantum spins and with additional lattice, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom,” Yin said in a new press statement.
