Abstract

Magnetic Monopoles: Magnets come with a north and a south pole. Despite being predicted to exist, searches in astronomy and in high-energy particle physics experiments for magnetic monopoles (either north or south on their own) have defied observation. Theoretical work in condensed-matter systems has predicted that spin-ice structures may harbor such elusive particles (see the Perspective by Gingras ). Fennell et al. (p. 415 , published online 3 September) and Morris et al. (p. 411 , published online 3 September) used polarized neutron scattering to probe the spin structure forming in two spin-ice compounds—Ho 2 Ti 2 O 7 and Dy 2 Ti 2 O 7 —and present results in support of the presence of magnetic monopoles in both materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
