Physicists observe enigmatic ‘Alice Rings’ for the first time

Posted in particle physics, quantum physics

For the first time, physicists from Finland and the United States have observed a special kind of magnetic monopole called an “Alice Ring.”

A team of researchers from the United States and Finland have observed enigmatic “Alice Rings” in super cold gas for the first time. A strange kind of circular magnetic monopoles, “Alice Rings” are a kind of quantum phenomenon that has, until now, only existed in theory. Various forces and particles can arise from the quantum machinery, theoretically including monopoles.
