Less than a decade ago, researchers found a peculiar phase of matter where the electrons of a particular compound would behave in two very distinct phases. Some had spins that were very well organized ...

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

The new phase comes in the form of a pattern of electron ... those states—are central problems in the fields of condensed matter physics and materials science," said paper author Weiguo Yin ...
