[New Scientist @newscientist]

We are in need of a new form of magnetism. Altermagnetism, a weird twist on familiar magnets, could jumpstart progress - and it's just the beginning. https://t.co/J6u4cErQed

[Libor Šmejkal @LiborPhysics]

The discovery of #altermagnetism was recognized as one of the Top 10 science breakthroughs of 2024, led by advances in HIV research and featuring also the #Starship landing.

Looking forward to and wishing you all the best for 2025!

Scientists have found a new kind of magnetic material that has been hiding in plain sight for almost a century. Altermagnets could work more effectively than the familiar sort. And this might not be the end of the story https://t.co/KtjBU8rlYg 👇
