Confirming altermagnetism: A geometric twist offers experimental proof

Phys.org · WORLD · Science · 10/30/2026, 8:20:01 AM

For decades, physicists recognized only two types of magnetism that occur in materials without external influence: ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. In findings published in Science, a team led by the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has delivered conclusive experimental proof of a third magnetic phase called altermagnetism.
