The best kind!

2025 we’re finding out animal magnetism was real all along, but it requires a certain concentration of microplastics to work

Magnets are the solution, just you wait

shout out to d-wave electron systems gotta be one of my favorite genders fr

Sounds great, a new type of bullshit for me to try to remember how it works every few years.

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.

I bet you don’t know how to use the three shells

Infynis@midwest.social on 26 Dec 21:00 next collapse

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?

New one is called altermagnetism: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altermagnetism

“Spintronics”, man, physicist have the best names for fields of study.

I thought that was an 80s new wave band, tbh.

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

theorychapter@sh.itjust.works on 27 Dec 02:31 next collapse

This is my first time seeing this article and I scroll through all a few times a day

UniversalMonk@mander.xyz on 14 Jan 05:12 collapse

Sorry, it was my first time seeing it. And when I posted it to this community, I didn’t get an alert that it’s already been posted. So I posted.

I sorta go on a science binge every few weeks. So I just read a bunch and post what is interesting. But I don’t follow it every day. Hence me replying to you after 18 days. Thanks!

There’s a second form of magnetism?

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de on 27 Dec 18:27 collapse

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
