Multimodal approach steps up the search for axion insulators

A cocktail of experiments and theory provides a way of revealing complex patterns in magnetic materials, including some textures that can identify the systems as members of an elusive class known as axion insulators. Symmetries reveal an unpinned broken magnetic helix.
