Physicists discover ‘stacked pancakes of liquid magnetism’

Researchers have discovered a new phase of liquid magnetism in layered helical magnets, where magnetic dipoles behave like 'flattened puddles' with varying alignment between layers. This phenomenon, predicted by a computational model, may explain the unusual electronic behavior observed in these materials.

Programmable interaction between quantum magnets

A team at Heidelberg University has successfully demonstrated a programmable control of spin interactions in isolated quantum systems. By adopting methods from nuclear magnetic resonance, the researchers used microwave pulses to modify the atomic spin and stall its reorientation. This breakthrough opens up new possibilities for Quantum...
