LaNiGa2 in simple terms

I produced the following lay person’s explanation of our recent paper on LaNiGa2 with Zhejiang, Dresden and Bristol for my department’s webpage:

An even more general description has been produced by the University’s press office:

The paper itself is now published as an “Editor’s suggestion” in Physical Review Letters:
