Golden Ratio Discovered In a Quantum World (Slashdot)
FiReaNGeL writes “Scientists have for the first time observed a nanoscale symmetry hidden in solid state matter. ‘In order to study these nanoscale quantum effects, the researchers have focused on the magnetic material cobalt niobate. It consists of linked magnetic atoms, which form chains just like a very thin bar magnet, but only one atom wide.’ By artificially introducing more quantum …
