Spin liquid
A spin liquid is a state of matter found in certain magnetic materials where the tiny magnetic moments (spins) of electrons remain in constant fluctuation, even at very low temperatures. Unlike typical magnets, which have aligned spins forming ordered structures, spin liquids keep their spins disordered and dynamic, creating a fluid-like magnetic state. This persistent randomness results from strong quantum effects and magnetic frustration, preventing the system from settling into a fixed pattern. Spin liquids are of interest for their unusual properties and potential applications in quantum computing and information storage.
