- 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.
