In the case of quantum spin liquids, the material is a solid crystal — but the internal magnetic state is constantly in flux. The magnetic orientations of the electrons (their magnetic moment) fluctuate as they interact with other nearby electrons. "But there is a strong interaction between them, and due to quantum effects, they don't lock in place," says Young Lee, senior author of the research (http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/mit-researchers-discover-a-new-kind-of-magnetism-1219.html).
is not it a perpetual motion ?
