Creation and measurement of long-lived magnetic monopole currents in spin ice

The recent discovery of 'magnetricity' in spin ice raises the question of whether long-lived currents of magnetic 'monopoles' can be created and manipulated by applying magnetic fields. Here we show that they can. By applying a magnetic-field pulse to a Dy...
