"Due to these particular geometries, the spins of electrons never freeze. They keep jiggling around without ever being able to freeze and form a magnet, which is the natural tendency of the material. This phenomenon is called 'magnetic frustration'." The unusual phase occupied by this material is known as quantum spin liquid. The spins of electrons in the magnets we encounter in day-to-day life are all frozen in the same direction. In spin liquids, they're never frozen, even if their temperature reaches absolute zero. This allows for some unusual traits, like a phenomenon known as long-range entanglement where the quantum state of one particle is paired with another non-adjacent particle.
