Tiny particles, huge potential: Scientists discover new type of quasiparticle present in all magnetic materials
Quasiparticle-mediated dynamics in AFM and FM honeycomb lattices of contracted nanoscale elements. Credit: Physical Review Research (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.043144 Researchers recently made a breakthrough discovery at the nanoscale. It is a new type of quasiparticle that is present in all magnetic materials, regardless of strength or temperature. These new properties challenge what researchers previously knew about magnetism and show that…
