There’s a second form of magnetism?
apparently it’s one of those “technically correct but also obviously nonsense” things: there’s no different type of electromagnetism, but specific materials can be magnetic in different ways, dimagnetic/ferromagnetic/paramagnetic, and the stuff the article is about seems to be at least the fourth kind… urgh
Everyone in this thread:
Everybody gave them shit for admitting to not know how magnets work (in a song), and yet, 99% of the public don’t even know there’s three forms.
For anyone interested in what they could be used for, but without time to read the article,
On a nano level, everything we store inside our devices is the result of the coordinated action of electrons. If these materials could be improved, it could mean higher efficiency, more storage within the same size of material, and less loss when data is accessed.
Because
…in [this] paper, scientists show that they can tune these materials very precicely in order to create specific directions of magnetism.
While the traditional ferromagnets we use today are fine in many ways, they aren’t ideal, and can introduce a blurring between separated bits of data known as crosstalk.
Nano machines!? I wonder if this will allow smaller than 1nm chip manufacturing.
THE NANO MACHINES WILL ALLOW MORE MEMES
Uh, don’t we already have three? Dia-, ferro- and paramagnetism?
and Antiferro-, Ferrimagnetism.
New one is called altermagnetism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altermagnetism
“Spintronics”, man, physicist have the best names for fields of study.

Kanye West pole?
Sounds great, a new type of bullshit for me to try to remember how it works every few years.
Animal Magnetism
2025 we’re finding out animal magnetism was real all along, but it requires a certain concentration of microplastics to work
He has the kavorka!
The best kind!
shout out to d-wave electron systems gotta be one of my favorite genders fr
Mesmer was right all along
Magnets are the solution, just you wait
Real question:
This article has been SPAMMED over Lemmy for the past week, what made you post it 8 days after it was made?
That’s essentially old news on a platform that moves as fast as this
This is my first time seeing this article and I scroll through all a few times a day
