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

Physicists have discovered a new phase of matter, dubbed "half ice, half fire," that could open the door to new advancements in fields such as quantum computing. The new phase combines a number of "up ...

Research into 'half fire, half ice' began in 2012. Brookhaven National Laboratory physicists Weiguo Yan and Alexei Tsverik were part of a collaborative project led by John Hill, studying a ...

half fire." The researchers discovered the new phase while studying a one-dimensional model of a type of magnetic material called a ferrimagnet. "Half ice, half fire" is notable not only because ...

It's the twin of the "half fire, half ice" state first observed by the same team at Brookhaven National Laboratory — physicists Weiguo Yin and Alexei Tsvelik, alongside their then intern ...
