Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., ...

Scientists have produced a new route to materials with complex 'disordered' magnetic properties at the quantum level. The material, based on a framework of ruthenium, fulfils the requirements of the ...

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 ...
