Magnetic monopole fluids
APR 27, 2023
Fundamental elementary particle physics allows pointlike electric charges, such as electrons, and pointlike magnetic charges, sometimes referred to as magnetic monopoles, to exist in our universe. Despite decades of searching, the latter have never been observed in particle experiments. All is not lost, however, because emergent magnetic monopoles are thought to occur in lanthanide pyrochlore magnetic insulators. Originally aired April 2023.
