In a groundbreaking discovery, an international team of researchers has identified a 3D quantum spin liquid in a member of the langbeinite family. This material’s unique crystalline structure and magnetic interactions give rise to a fascinating behavior known as magnetic frustration, leading to the formation of a quantum spin liquid. Quantum spin liquids, or QSLs,
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications, an interdisciplinary research team led by Dr. Sascha Brunke from the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology has shed light on the therapeutic potential of synthetic polymers in combating invasive fungal infections caused by Candida species. This research is particularly significant given the high
