Scientists discover a new phase of matter that's 'half ice, half fire'

New Phase Of Matter In Magnets Is Like “Half Ice, Half Fire”

An ultra-small change in temperature can lead to a completely new phase of matter.

Scientists discover a new phase of matter that's 'half ice, half fire'

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

If you've ever heard of quantum physics, you know that this field is full of fascinating mysteries. But a new discovery might well rewrite some of our knowledge about the matter and pave the way for tomorrow's technologies. Researchers from the Brookhaven National Laboratory of the United States Department of Energy [...]

Scientists discover "Half-Ice, Half-Fire" – A new exotic phase of matter

Explore the intriguing discoveries of half-fire half-ice in condensed matter physics and its implications for technology.

The physicists call it "mid-ice, half-fire." Yet, this new phase of matter is actually made of neither ice nor fire. But what, then?
