In an altermagnet, however, the direction of spin (which influences magnetism) can vary on the “grid” formed by what’s known as an ideal crystal—a material whose crystal patterns are ...

Over repeated experiments, the team observed that a terahertz pulse successfully switched the previously antiferromagnetic material to a new magnetic state — a transition that persisted for a ...

This groundbreaking find flips the script on magnetism, revealing it to be more dynamic than scientists once believed. Step into a hidden world so small it's almost unimaginable -- the nanoscale.

These new properties shake up what researchers previously knew about magnetism, showing it's not as static as once believed. "Emergent topological quasiparticle kinetics in constricted nanomagnets ...
