"If those magnetic moments interact in a way that wants them to point antiparallel to one another, we call that antiferromagnetism," Wilson added. "If they want to interact in this antiferromagnetic ...

Professor Peter Wadley, who led the research, explains: "Altermagnets consist of magnetic moments that point antiparallel to their neighbours. However, each part of the crystal hosting these tiny ...

Conventional hard disks are based on ferromagnets—materials in which the magnetic dipoles, or spins, associated with each atom all point in the same direction. This alignment gives the material a net ...
