Physicists at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have successfully produced the first two-dimensional Bose glass, an unusual phase of matter that defies conventional ideas in statistical mechanics.

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