A researcher in the lab of Stephen Wilson, whose group studies how magnetic interactions can produce unusual states of matter relevant to quantum research. Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” inside a crystal’s atomic structure. The team discovered a rare system where ...

Frustrated quantum spin chains are one-dimensional systems in which competing interactions between adjacent and next-nearest-neighbour spins inhibit the establishment of conventional magnetic order.

An international research team recently demonstrated how magnetism can be actively changed by pressure. Magnetism occurs depending on how electrons behave. For example, the elementary particles can ...

What if the magnon Hall effect, which processes information using magnons (spin waves) capable of current-free information transfer with magnets, could overcome its current limitation of being ...

A team of scientists has used an IBM quantum computer to simulate the magnetic behavior of potassium copper fluoride, known ...

“It’s a classic Columbia story—multiple groups in physics and chemistry came together to work on this new material, and we found exciting new results about how electrons move,” said Aravind ...

Physicists at the University of Warsaw have generated a miniature “laser tornado” inside nanoscale structures by engineering ...

At the forefront of discovery, where cutting-edge scientific questions are tackled, we often don’t have much data. Conversely, successful machine learning (ML) tends to rely on large, high quality ...

In a paper published in Nature Materials, Wilson's lab group has reported on an innovative way to use a phenomenon referred to as frustration of long-range order in a material system to engineer ...
