By the end of an undergraduate degree, especially if you elect courses in advanced particle physics.

This is solid-state, not particle physics.
Indeed. Fermions are usually taught in particle physics, especially when distinguishing Weyl/Majorana/Dirac fermions.
So your claim is spin ice as a concept doesnt exist in particle physics and would not be discussed outside solid state?
I claim the article is about solid-state physics. Otherwise, any claim that doesn't appear in my comment ... ? Not my claim.
