  • The Scientists have uncovered the first conclusive evidence of the elusive third category of magnetism - Altermagnetism.
  • The other two forms of magnetism are ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism.
  • Altermagnetic materials have a structure that falls between the other two.
  • In altermagnets, each unit is slightly twisted relative to the adjacent magnetic atom, resulting in properties similar to ferromagnetism.
  • Thus, altermagnets combine the best properties of both ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic materials.
