A material thought to be a quantum spin liquid actually exhibits a newly identified magnetic state caused by competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. Materials that enter a quantum ...

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or ...

Researchers at Rice University report that cerium magnesium hexalluminate, a compound with the formula CeMgAl11O19, is not the quantum spin liquid it was long believed to be. In a peer-reviewed study ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into place like disciplined soldiers. However, ...

A magnetic crystal that was thought to behave like a quantum system, CeMgAl11O19, revealed something even stranger: a new ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

Researchers were shocked to discover that what was thought to be a quantum state is actually an entirely new phase of matter.

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...

Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero, key for future quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) The future of computing ...

An international team of scientists led by Rice's Pengcheng Dai has confirmed the existence of emergent photons and fractionalized spin excitations in a rare quantum spin liquid. An international team ...
