Students of spintronics have another spin state to add to their tool box: a 2D material hosting a ‘spiral spin liquid’ – in which magnetic spins form fluctuating corkscrew-like structures. In this case, the material is the van der Waals honeycomb magnet iron trichloride, which has a layer of iron atoms sandwiched between two layers …
