FfFfFfFF 58,083 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Scientists have taken the clearest picture yet of electronic particles that make up a mysterious magnetic state called quantum spin liquid (QSL). The achievement could facilitate the development of superfast quantum computers and energy-efficient superconductors. The scientists are the first to capture an image of how electrons in a QSL decompose into spin-like particles called spinons and charge-like particles called chargons. "Other studies have seen various footprints of this phenomenon, but we have an actual picture of the state in which the spinon lives. This is something new," said study leader Mike Crommie, a senior faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and physics professor at UC. "Spinons are like ghost particles. They are like the Big Foot of quantum physics—people say that they've seen them, but it's hard to prove that they exist," said co-author Sung-Kwan Mo, a staff scientist at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source. "With our method we've provided some of the best evidence to date."

It's just a damn shame how much math is involved the concepts are easy to grasp and fun to learn about but I can't be arsed to put in the effort required to...do math Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumiere 5,825 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Have I mentioned how I'm fascinated with your Science threads @FfFfFfFF? Not that I'm that intelligent to completely understand things but they're truly interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
