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 ...

Half Ice, Half Fire'—and It Could Rewrite the Future Matter is an inquisitive subject for scientists to investigate. Despite ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists at Brookhaven National Lab uncovered a new phase of matter dubbed "half ice, half fire" — a bizarre mix of cold, orderly electron spins and hot, chaotic ones. Thi ...

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

Discovering and controlling exotic physical states is key in condensed matter physics and materials science. It has the ...

"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 ...

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

“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.

This would-be catastrophe is fire-ice, the oxymoronic compound frozen deep under the ocean floor. As the oceans are warming, fire-ice is slowly melting and emitting the greenhouse gas methane into ...
