In a groundbreaking study, scientists at Brookhaven National Lab uncovered a new phase of matter dubbed "half ice, half fire" ...

Scientists have described a ‘half ice, half fire’ state of matter that takes advantage of opposing electron spins. | Credit: ...

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

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

To make matters worse, NASA scientists also discovered that, this year, summer ice in the Antarctic retreated to 764,000 square miles (1.98 million square kilometers) as of March 1, tying for "the ...

but the sharpness of the phase change could also be used in quantum information technology – for example, as a form of storage. Instead of 0s and 1s, you might have fire/ice or ice/fire.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a brand-new phase of matter in a ...
