The concept of quantum spin liquids was first proposed in 1973, but the first direct evidence for such a material was only found within the last few years. (sciencedaily.com)
If the discovery stands, it could open a door to hundreds of yet unknown quantum spin liquid materials that physicists say must exist according to theory and mathematical equations. (thescienceexplorer.com)
The results of his experiments, if corroborated over time, would mean that the type of crystal is a rare new material that can produce an observable quantum spin liquid. (thescienceexplorer.com)
