Altermagnetism: An unconventional spin-ordered phase of matter

This perspective reflects on the analogies and distinctions of altermagnetism as compared to superfluid 3He and spin-channel higher-partial-wave Pomeranchuk instabilities of a Fermi liquid. While...

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. newscientist.com/article/248…

We’ve discovered a new kind of magnetism. What can we do with it? | New Scientist

Researchers have found the first new type of magnet in nearly a century. Now, these strange "altermagnets" could help us build an entirely new type of computer

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 econ.st/3vI9gkQ 👇
