[edit]The statements made on the article page need to have verifiable references. I had highlighted regions in the article where references were needed. It appears that these were removed without providing any actual references. Please discuss on this page as to why the references are not needed. Is the subject of the article above the rules of Wikipedia? If not, then please revert your edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.185.75.226 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hello. Please use the
{{citation needed}}template (or the{{cn}}shorthand) instead of adding "[ADD FULL REFERENCES OR REMOVE]" into the article text. The tags are the preferred way to annotate these issues because they are less disruptive to the reader. — Newslinger talk 17:24, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
Adding to the above, Nagler is NOT a Nobel Laureate!!!! He has done some work like EVERY scientist has. This section needs to removed, otherwise it needs to show Nobel Prize worthy material:
Theories and work[edit] Isotropic Quantum Harmonic Oscillator[edit] In 2012, Nagler formed part of a research team that discovered nitrogen atoms in the compound uranium nitride exhibit unexpected, distinct vibrations that form a nearly ideal realization of a physics textbook model known as the isotropic quantum harmonic oscillator. In the experiment on the uranium nitride crystal -- with each of the light nitrogen atoms centered in a cage of heavier uranium atoms -- neutron scattering at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) revealed an unexpected series of distinct and evenly spaced oscillations: The nitrogen atom vibrates like a molecular-level ball on a spring.
Quantum Spin Liquid[edit] In 2016, Nagler formed part of an international team that found evidence of a mysterious new state of matter, first predicted 40 years ago, in a real material. This state, known as a quantum spin liquid, causes electrons -- thought to be indivisible building blocks of nature -- to break into pieces. Quantum spin liquids are mysterious states of matter which are thought to be hiding in certain magnetic materials, but had not been conclusively sighted in nature. The observation of one of their most intriguing properties -- electron splitting, or fractionalization -- in real materials is a breakthrough. The resulting Majorana fermions may be used as building blocks of quantum computers, which would be far faster than conventional computers and would be able to perform calculations that could not be done otherwise. Nagler and his team utilized neutron scattering techniques to look for experimental evidence of fractionalization in alpha-Ruthenium(III) chloride (a-RuCl3). The researchers tested the magnetic properties of a-RuCl3 powder by illuminating it with neutrons, and observing the pattern of ripples that the neutrons produced on a screen when they scattered from the sample.[4][5]
