Magnetic monopoles have been predicted to occur as emergent fractional quasiparticles inside pyrochlore spin ice, a frustrated magnetic insulator. Experimental signatures of such emergent monopoles ...

Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie have, in cooperation with colleagues from Dresden, St. Andrews, La Plata and Oxford, for the first time observed magnetic ...

The collective excitation modes of hedgehog lattices are governed by oscillation of Dirac strings, connecting a hedgehog and an antihedgehog, which can be used to study their spatial configuration in ...

Ever since magnetic monopoles were first predicted by Paul Dirac in 1931, physicists have looked in vain for these elusive entities in everything from particle accelerators to Moon rocks. Now, two ...

We have moved one step closer to finding the mysterious monopole – a magnetic pole without its opposite, which has long eluded physicists. Two laboratory experiments using strange stuff called spin ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The field of topology or the study of how surfaces behave in different dimensions has profoundly influenced the current understanding of matter. The prime example is the ...
