Physicists Report Evidence of a Third Type of Magnetism
Original: Physicists Find Evidence for ‘Third’ Type of Magnetism
Physicists report they have found evidence for a third type of magnetism, beyond the familiar ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. The finding, highlighted in science news coverage, points to so-called altermagnetism, a form of magnetic ordering that could matter for future electronics. Researchers say the discovery could open new directions in spintronics and materials science, and it is drawing attention from the physics community.
Why now: A claimed discovery of a new fundamental class of magnetism is a significant scientific development.
