SLAC researchers find proof of altermagnetism, a new magnetic phase

Automated excerpt

Altermagnetic materials could be used to design advanced electronics, with applications including quantum technologies, memory devices and data centers. It’s a quantum property of a material, and not all magnetic materials have a directly observable magnetic effect. In 1933, scientists discovered another type of material with polarized spins.
