Jan 30, 2014 at 22:09 comment added user10851 "As everybody here knows, Maxwell's equation would look more beautiful if a magnetic charge were present." -- Actually, the covariant form of the equations, $\partial_\nu F^{\mu\nu} = J^\mu$ and $\partial_{[\lambda} F_{\mu\nu]} = 0$, are quite beautiful without magnetic charges mucking things up.
Jan 30, 2014 at 16:13 comment added anna v Well as matter is made up of elementary particles and charges come in +/-1 or +/-2/3 or +/-1/3 I would say that experimentally charge is quantized.
Jan 30, 2014 at 16:09 comment added Emilio Pisanty @Vlad The recent work is in BECs and not in spin ice, but it is still work on quasiparticles.

Included citation. Changed link to DOI.
Jan 30, 2014 at 8:12 comment added John Rennie Related: arxiv.org/abs/0903.4732 and arxiv.org/abs/1110.3955. These are not monopoles in the sense that an electron is a charge monopole. Interesting physics though.
Jan 30, 2014 at 7:48 comment added Vlad Is a quasiparticles in spin ice.
Jan 30, 2014 at 7:47 comment added David Z I've only seen the abstract, but based on that, to my reading, it's not clear that they have discovered true magnetic monopoles.
