A quantum magnet with a topological twist

Researchers probed a special kind of magnet containing atoms arranged in a pattern called a kagome lattice, which takes its name from a Japanese basket. They found that electrons in this material exhibit exotic behaviors that could be exploited for futuristic applications – and that under a high magnetic field some electrons in this material act like an upside-down magnet.
