      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.

    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.

      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

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

          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

      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!
