Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a new phase a matter called “half-ice, half-fire.” This elemental moniker is a reference to the ordered ...

The specific ferrimagnet in which "half ice, half fire" was observed is Sr3CuIrO6, a compound that consists of strontium, copper, iridium and oxygen. It's the same material in which the team ...

and it has thus been dubbed "half ice, 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 ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter, branded 'half ice, half fire', which could spur developments in quantum computing. Researchers Weiguo Yin and Alexei Tsvelik, from the U.S. Department ...

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 ...

They called this the “half fire, half ice” state. Now, researchers have found that under some extremely specific conditions, the opposite state forms. The curious material in which they made ...
