NEWS RELEASE

Physicists discover 'stacked pancakes of liquid magnetism'
Physicists have discovered “stacked pancakes of liquid magnetism” that may account for the strange electronic behavior of some layered helical magnets. The materials in the study are magnetic at cold temperatures and become nonmagnetic as they thaw. Rice theoretical physicist Andriy Nevidomskyy and former graduate student Matthew Butcher created a computational model that simulated the quantum states of atoms and electrons in the layered materials.
