"Unveiling Altermagnetism: A Breakthrough in Magnetic Science"
TL;DR
Researchers at the Swiss Light Source have discovered a new type of magnetism called altermagnetism, which has never been observed before. This discovery was made in collaboration with the Czech Academy of Sciences and represents a new family of magnetic materials distinct from ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, characterized by the spontaneous arrangement of electron spins.
