Quantum spin liquids are materials predicted to be absent of magnetic ordering at low temperature, giving rise to fractionalised electronic states, but conclusive experimental evidence is still absent. Here, the authors conduct angular dependent torque measurements on the candidate spin liquid material RuI3 and, through a comparison of experimental and theoretical results, provide evidence indicating the presence of frustrated magnetic interactions in the system.
