"Experimental Evidence Reveals a Novel Form of Magnetism in Fundamental Physics"

Experiments at the Swiss Light Source SLS have led to the discovery of a new type of magnetism called altermagnetism, which combines the characteristics of both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. This breakthrough in fundamental physics has significant implications for spintronics and offers potential for next-generation magnetic memory technology. The experimental validation of altermagnetism opens up new research opportunities and could have a broad impact across various areas of technology and condensed-matter physics.
