Even if the existence of
magnetic monopoles as elementary particles remains a fundamental open question, condensed - matter physicists have managed to reproduce artificial versions of these exotic particles in rare - earth oxide crystals called «spin ices.»
Los Alamos National Laboratory staff scientist Cristiano Nisoli explained, «The emergence of
magnetic monopoles in spin ice systems is a particular case of what physicists call fractionalization, or deconfinement of quasi-particles that together are seen
as comprising the fundamental unit of the system, in this case the north and south poles of a nanomagnet.
Those concentrations can float free along the string, acting
as — voilà —
magnetic monopoles.
The researchers used metamaterials and metasurfaces to build the tunnel experimentally, so that the
magnetic field from a source, such

as an isolated
magnetic monopole.
Magnetic monopoles are another hypothetical defect that could affect the CMB,
