There's a second form of magnetism?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 23 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

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

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.

Mesmer was right all along

Uh, don't we already have three? Dia-, ferro- and paramagnetism?

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!

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
