Abstract
Magnetic materials provide a new context for observing magnetic monopoles. Numerical simulations now establish an experimentally measurable signature of their dynamics — one that has in fact already been seen in a spin-ice compound.

Magnetic monopoles have for a long time eluded detection by experiment. Theory now identifies a signature of monopole dynamics that is measurable experimentally, and that has already been seen in magnetic relaxation measurements in a spin-ice material.
