    Kagome Metals Reveal Magnetic Switch of Loop Currents

    Overview: A long-sought puzzle in quantum metals solved Researchers in Japan have provided the first comprehensive theoretical framework explaining how electricity behaves in kagome metals, a class of quantum materials with a distinctive basket-like lattice. The study shows that weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny loop electrical currents inside these metals, switching the material’s macroscopic…
