AI: Physicists have discovered a new class of magnetism - altermagnetism. This phenomenon combines the properties of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, which makes it promising for creating more efficient electronic devices. In altermagnets, atoms can rotate independently of spin arrows and have zero net magnetization, which ensures stability and high spin flip rates. Several materials with altermagnetic properties have already been discovered, including ruthenium dioxide and manganese telluride. However, for use in electronic devices, it is necessary to create a constant altermagnetic orientation of materials and further study their properties.
