Induced by the application of an external magnetic field, the previously identified "half-fire, half-ice" state sees disordered, "hot" spins on the copper atoms, and fully ordered, "cold" spins on ...

The tropics, where biodiversity and interactions among species abound, provide an alternative view of relationships between ...

A fascinating new study reveals our ancestors didn’t just control fire during the planet’s most brutal ice age—they mastered ...

An exotic state of matter has been found lurking within a previous exotic state that was discovered in a magnetic compound last decade.

found the "half-fire, half-ice" phase. In this state, which is induced by a critical external magnetic field, the "hot" spins on the copper sites are fully disordered on the atomic lattice and ...

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 ...
