Magnetism Has Just Solved One of Quantum Tech’s Biggest Challenges

Credit: PixabayResearchers have found a way to preserve quantum properties in 3D materials using magnetic confinement. By stabilizing excitons—energy-carrying quasiparticles—through the magnetic properties of chromium sulfide bromide, they address a major challenge in quantum technology.Quantum effects typically only work at small scales, making them hard to apply in real-world systems like quantum computers. However,...

Scientists Have Verified the Existence of a Third Type of Magnetism

GarryKillian//Getty ImagesScientists have recently developed and captured images of a new magnetic substance called altermagnetic material. Unlike some discoveries that take decades to materialize after being theorized, altermagnetism has quickly gained attention in the scientific community. In a new paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, researchers demonstrate their ability to precisely tune these...

Using Magnetism to Induce Movement in Water Droplets

Credit: ACS Nano (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c11197A collaborative effort between material scientists from Sun Yat-sen University and Dalian University of Technology in China has demonstrated the ability to manipulate the movement of a single water droplet by incorporating a magnetic particle inside it and controlling an electromagnet's activation. This research was published in the journal ACS Nano.The...

A New Variant of Magnetism Promises More Powerful Memory Devices

Credit: Unsplash.New research has unveiled two or three types of magnetism, introducing the possibility of a highly sought-after magnetic property. While early compass users may have perceived magnets as mystical, the scientific understanding of magnetism has evolved. In addition to ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, a third type, altermagnetism, has been identified, challenging previous descriptions of...

Researchers Uncover a Novel and Peculiar Pype of Magnetism

Scientists have discovered a strange new form of magnetismDepositphotosResearchers from ETH Zurich have identified a previously unseen type of magnetism. Experiments reveal that an artificially created material exhibits magnetism through a mechanism not observed before.The widely recognized form of magnetism, known as ferromagnetism (the type that causes items to stick to your fridge), occurs...
