Altermagnetism imaged for the first time at MAX IV 

The domain structure of a new type of magnet, called altermagnet, has been imaged for the first time at the MAXPEEM beamline. The study opens the way for controlling the properties of these materials at the nanoscale and could contribute to faster and more energy efficient memory devices.
