The third type of magnetism could prove the most useful of all—if researchers can identify the materials that exhibit it.

A newly proposed quantum sensing technique could make it much easier to identify one of physics’ newest and most intriguing classes of magnets: altermagnets. These unusual…

University at Buffalo researchers have proposed a quantum sensing technique that could help identify altermagnets.

The third type of magnetism could prove the most useful of all—if researchers can identify the materials that exhibit it.
