SLAC scientists confirm a third type of magnetism
Original: SLAC scientists find conclusive proof of a mysterious third type of magnetism
Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California report conclusive experimental proof of altermagnetism, a third form of magnetism alongside ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. The finding matters because altermagnets combine properties of both known types, potentially enabling faster, more efficient electronics and spintronic devices. Scientists say the confirmation opens a new field of research into materials with this unusual magnetic ordering.
Why now: A major physics lab has just announced conclusive proof of a long-hypothesized third form of magnetism with potential tech applications.
