An illustration of the lattice examined by Phil Anderson in the early ‘70s. Shown as green ellipses, pairs of quantum particles fluctuated among multiple combinations to produce a spin liquid state.

The measured electronic density (left) on a triangular indium lattice (right). The figure highlights how electrons (in yellow) do not sit on the atomic position but they rather occupy the voids in ...

The material at the heart of this discovery is Na₂BaNi(PO₄)₂, a quantum magnetic compound with a unique triangular lattice ...
