Emergent ice rule and magnetic charge screening from vertex frustration in artificial spin ice

The shakti lattice describes a new type of frustration not found in naturally occurring materials. Fabrication of the first artificial spin-ice array displaying shakti dynamics confirms the locally ordered, globally degenerate nature of these exotic lattice structures.
