Science Highlights

Twenty years on, neutron data help scientists to witness “spooky” entanglement in quantum magnets
Using ISIS data from an experiment in 2000, researchers have demonstrated the viability of a “quantum entanglement witness” capable of proving the presence of entanglement between magnetic particles, or spins, in a quantum material.
Hydrogen bonding in protonic ionic liquids probed by TOSCA and state-of-the-art solid-state calculations
This study reports, for the first time, an exhaustive, computationally supported study of protonic ionic liquids using inelastic neutron spectroscopy.
Unified picture for the spin resonance mode in Cr-based spinel oxides using inelastic neutron scattering
Neutron scattering measurements of the spinel oxide LiGaCr4O8 reveal the coexistence of a nearly dispersionless resonance mode and dispersive spin-wave excitations in the magnetically ordered state, suggesting a unified picture for spin resonances in Cr
