A research group from University of Tsukuba has discovered that fluctuations of electron spins in magnetic materials trigger a large anomalous Hall effect during phase transition known as the devil's staircase magnetic transition.

clickbait headline but interesting materials research. ‘a unique magnetic transition phenomenon known as the “spin-fluctuating devil’s staircase.”’

    I don’t know where the Devil’s staircase leads, but I’m taking it.
