Magnetism is a force we can’t see. Something is magnetic if it can pull another magnetic object towards it. Just like these fridge magnets. A magnet attracts or repels things made from certain ...

Known as antiferromagnetism, it's a phenomenon that has been theorized and tinkered with for the better part of a century.

Altermagnetism was first theorized in 2019 and experimentally confirmed in 2024 by researchers at Mainz University. It ...

The study authors suggest that when it comes to altermagnetism, the magnetic moments of adjacent atoms are aligned in ...

Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors.

But that magnetism can only occur in a system that lacks a specific symmetry—one that the team's new material should have had. "So the fact that we saw this was very puzzling. We didn't really ...
