The new big thing in magnetics is altermagnetism, a form of magnetism that promises to power the next generation of electronics. Unlike ferromagnets, like a fridge magnet, where all internal atomic ...

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

Researchers at Ames National Laboratory are advancing the discovery of materials for rare-earth-free permanent magnets by ...

For almost 100 years, scientists believed there were only two main types of magnets. One is the familiar ferromagnet, the ...

A fundamental property of magnetism has been disclosed through University of Copenhagen research. The discovery may be key to development of a new generation of powerful computers. The ongoing ...

A new kind of magnetism has been measured for the first time. Altermagnets, which contain a blend of properties from different classes of existing magnets, could be used to make high capacity and fast ...

The explosive growth of electric vehicles has intensified the search for ways to make electric motors more energy efficient.
