Exotic quantum spin-liquid Myittha Dam under construction for simulated: A starting point for benefiting Yaw region superconductivity?

(See page 9) the electrons show a dynamical phase lacking any order.—Internet STUTTGART ,11April — An exotic state of matter that physicists call a “quantum spin-liquid” can be realized by electrons in a honeycomb crystal structure. This is shown by scientists from the Universities of Stuttgart and Würzburg, Germany in a new study published in the journal Nature. Electrons inside a crystal exist in different states. In many cases it is the crystal structure that decides, if the material is a metal with a finite electric conductivity, or if it is an insulator, which does not carry an electric current. But there also exist insulating materials, whose crystal structures suggest that they should behave like metals. Such materials are called “Mott insulators,” and it is the repulsion between the electrons, that suppresses a metallic behaviour, such that the electrons are locked to the atoms.—Internet
