The Dirac spin liquid is a candidate description for the strongly correlated behaviour of some quantum magnets. Song et al. study the symmetry dependence physics of monopole excitations and argue that the lattice-dependent consequences for magnetic ordering may provide a unifying picture for 2D quantum magnetism.
