Physicists identify new 'octupolar' form of magnetism
Original: Physicists identify 'octupolar' magnetism, with implications for quantum technologies
Physicists have identified a new form of magnetism known as octupolar magnetism, in which magnetic ordering arises from higher-order, octupole moments rather than ordinary dipole spins. The finding expands the known classes of magnetic materials and could inform the development of quantum technologies, where such exotic magnetic states may be harnessed for future devices. Details of the research were reported by science outlets this week.
Why now: A newly identified form of magnetism with potential applications in quantum technology is naturally newsworthy to science readers.
