Wikipedia
Spin ice
A spin ice is a magnetic substance that does not have a single minimal-energy state. It has magnetic moments (i.e. "spin") as elementary degrees of freedom which are subject to frustrated interactions. By their nature, these interactions prevent the moments from exhibiting a periodic pattern in their orientation down to a temperature much below the energy scale set by the said interactions. Spin ices show low-temperature properties, residual entropy in particular, closely related to those of common crystalline water ice. The most prominent compounds with such properties are dysprosium titanate (Dy2Ti2O7) and holmium titanate (Ho2Ti2O7). The orientation of the magnetic moments in spin ice resembles the positional organization of hydrogen atoms (more accurately, ionized hydrogen, or protons) in conventional water ice (see figure 1). Experiments have found evidence for the existence of deconfined magnetic monopoles in these materials, with properties resembling those of the hypothetical magnetic monopoles postulated to exist in vacuum.

Spin ice
A spin ice is a substance that is similar to water ice in that it can never be completely frozen. This is because it does not have a single minimal-energy state. A spin ice has "spin" degrees of freedom, with frustrated interactions which prevent it freezing. It shows low-temperature properties – in particular residual entropy – closely related to those of crystalline water ice. The most prominent compounds with such properties are dysprosium titanate and holmium titanate. The magnetic ordering of a spin ice resembles the positional ordering of hydrogen atoms in conventional water ice. Recent experiments have shown strong evidence for the existence of deconfined magnetic monopoles in these materials, with analogous properties to the hypothetical magnetic monopoles postulated to exist in the vacuum.
