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 ...

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 ...

An array of nanomagnets in a kagome lattice structure should support the creation and separation of oppositely charged monopoles, which are connected by Dirac strings of flipped dipoles. And indeed, ...
