Physicists have uncovered a hidden third form of magnetism that challenges more than 100 years of established physics. Called altermagnetism, the discovery could transform future computing and electronics while opening an entirely new frontier in quantum research.

    Ok so when the metaphorical Kramers burst through the door and slams down a few bills on the counter proclaiming they “lost” implies not fornication bets, but healing crystal energy that reacts to the (jokes aside) wavevector in a spin-dependent way; i.e will interact magnetically different depending on the other field’s net spin? I’m picturing a gate that will supress one field but not the other, relative to their spin? Because then it’s huge news I guess but could we really call that a “phase”?
