#Quirky response to magnetism presents quantum physics mystery

“#Quirky response to magnetism presents quantum physics mystery” Schematic diagram showing both the magnetism and the conductive behavior on the surface of MnBi2Te4. The magnetism points uniformly upward, as shown by the red arrows, and the surface electrons, represented by the hourglass structures, are conductive because the top and bottom halves touch at the vertex…
