\u2018Spin liquids\u2019 are a hypothetical state of matter with magnetic properties. In theory, they could be utilised to transmit information without any electrons moving from its site. This would enable improvements for electronic components and potentially even quantum computers.<\/p>\n
In recent years, there has been signs that spin liquids could exist in real materials, but to date, there has not been definite experimental proof of its existence.<\/p>\n
New research indicates that spin liquids cannot form in a material that was formerly considered the optimal candidate. These results demonstrate that new routes must be taken in future research.<\/p>\n
