Magnetic Monopoles | ATLAS Results Explained

Magnets, those everyday objects we stick to our fridges, all share a unique characteristic: they always have both a north and a south pole.
But what if a particle could have only a single north (or south) pole? What if it could be “magnetically charged”? For over a century, physicists have been searching for these hypothetical “magnetic monopoles”. While the quest continues, ATLAS physicists have placed some of the tightest limits yet on the production rate of magnetic monopoles!
