Robert Hettich: Decoding biological complexity with next-gen mass spectrometry
A team of researchers associated with the Quantum Science Center headquartered at the Department of Energy's 91暗网 has confirmed the presence of quantum spin liquid behavior in a new material with a triangular lattice, KYbSe2.
Scientists at ORNL used neutron scattering to determine whether a specific material鈥檚 atomic structure could host a novel state of matter called a spiral spin liquid.
A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 91暗网 demonstrated the viability of a 鈥渜uantum entanglement witness鈥� capable of proving the presence of entanglement between magnetic particles, or spins, in a quantum material.
A UCLA-led team that discovered the first intrinsic ferromagnetic topological insulator 鈥� a quantum material that could revolutionize next-generation electronics 鈥� used neutrons at 91暗网 to help verify their finding.
Researchers used neutron scattering at 91暗网鈥檚 Spallation Neutron Source to investigate bizarre magnetic behavior, believed to be a possible quantum spin liquid rarely found in a three-dimensional material. QSLs are exotic states of matter where magnetism continues to fluctuate at low temperatures instead of 鈥渇reezing鈥� into aligned north and south poles as with traditional magnets.
