An in-plane magnetic field usually destroys the isotropic fractional quantum Hall states of two-dimensional electron systems, and gives rise to anisotropic liquid-crystal-like states. An unexpected observation of the coexistence of both states at once suggests the emergence of a new quantum phase of matter.
