In what's referred to as #altermagnetism,
particles are arranged in a canceling fashion like antiferromagnetism,
yet rotated just enough to allow for confined forces on a nanoscale
– not enough to pin a grocery list to your freezer,
but with discrete properties that engineers are keen to manipulate into storing data or channeling energy."Altermagnets consist of magnetic moments that point antiparallel to their neighbors,"
explains University of Nottingham physicist Peter Wadley."However, each part of the crystal hosting these tiny moments is rotated with respect to its neighbours.
This is like antiferromagnetism with a twist!
But this subtle difference has huge ramifications."Experiments have since confirmed the existence of this in-between 'alter' magnetism.
However, none had directly demonstrated it was possible to manipulate its tiny magnetic vortices in ways that might prove useful.Wadley and his colleagues demonstrated that a sheet of manganese telluride just a few nanometers thick could be distorted in ways that intentionally created distinct magnetic whirlpools on the wafer's surface

"The fields of atoms in an antiferromagnetic material point in opposite directions to those of their neighbours, cancelling each other out perfectly."
"In altermagnetism, neighbouring atoms could end up with spins pointing in opposite directions if the atoms themselves were rotated by 90 degrees compared with their neighbours."

"The crystal-symmetry basis makes #altermagnetism one of the elementary phases of matter, which—remarkably—has been omitted for nearly a century of the band theory of solids. Our results highlight the strength of the spin-group-symmetry classification in unravelling new magnetic phases and in describing the hierarchy of energy scales that underpin their rich phenomenology and potential applications"

Experiments prove the existence of "a new type of magnetism" called altermagnetism. Well that's interesting... although I read the article and as best I can tell there's no practical implications or applications at the moment..
