MIT Discovers a New State of Matter, a New Kind of Magnetism

December 21st, 2012

Via: ExtremeTech:

Researchers at MIT have discovered a new state of matter with a new kind of magnetism. This new state, called a quantum spin liquid (QSL), could lead to significant advances in data storage. QSLs also exhibit a quantum phenomenon called long-range entanglement, which could lead to new types of communications systems, and more.
