Revolutionary Magnetism Class Paves Way for Advanced Digital Memory
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org
Researchers at the University of Nottingham have imaged a new class of magnetism called altermagnetism, which could revolutionize digital memory by significantly increasing operation speeds and efficiency. Altermagnets combine properties of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, potentially reducing reliance on rare elements and lowering carbon emissions. The study, published in Nature, demonstrates the practical application of altermagnetic materials, offering a promising path for future technological advancements.
