U.S. scientists have discovered a new state of matter, branded 'half ice, half fire' The 'phase' is a pattern of electron spins - the tiny "up" or "down" magnetic moments carried by every electron.

It consists of a combination of highly ordered spins and highly disordered spins.

The new state takes place within an atom and takes place over an ultranarrow temperature range.

The breakthrough could be used to further new developments in computer science.
