degeneracy

It would be unfair to place the sole blame for the degeneracy of civil norms on one segment of the public.

Naturally, as the five of us have grown and dabbled in our own intermittent spates of degeneracy, we’ve become more privy to our parents' young adult lore.

Passed before women obtained the right to vote, the Comstock Act was very much a reflection of its era—a time when fringe physicians literally warned women that failing to become a mother before age 25 risked a “continuous tendency to degeneracy of and atrophy of the reproductive organs.”

This technique enabled the team to visualise a tell-tale feature in the electronic structure of a suspected altermagnet: the splitting of electronic bands corresponding to different spin states, known as the lifting of Kramers spin degeneracy.

However, antiferromagnets should not exhibit lifted Kramers spin degeneracy by the magnetic order, whereas ferromagnets or altermagnets should.
