Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep pictures stuck to the refrigerator. Antiferromagnets hide their magnetism at the atomic scale but are increasingly prized for their technological potential. A third category discovered within the last decade […]
Ongoing research in quantum materials and sensing is leading to breakthroughs in fundamental physics, such as the recent discovery of altermagnets.
The identification of new types of magnetism like altermagnets, enabled by advanced quantum sensors, could unlock novel electronic devices and computing paradigms.
The basic understanding of magnetism expands beyond the two traditional categories, potentially leading to new material science exploration and applications.
