Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are states of matter where spins remain entangled and fluctuate, never forming a traditional magnetic order. Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are fascinating and mysterious ...

But new research suggests a new player is making an impact: us. By studying foraminifera, tiny single-celled marine organisms that leave behind fossil shells, a team of researchers from the University ...

Tracking the rotation speed of solid planets, like the Earth and Mars, is a relatively simple task: Just measure the time it takes for a surface feature to roll into view again. But giant gas planets ...
