Physicists identify new 'octupolar' form of magnetism
Original: Physicists identify 'octupolar' magnetism, with implications for quantum technologies
Physicists report the identification of 'octupolar' magnetism, a newly characterised magnetic order that goes beyond conventional dipole-based magnetism. According to the report, the discovery could have implications for quantum technologies, where exotic magnetic states are explored for use in future computing and sensing devices. Details of the underlying research, the team behind it and the peer-review status have not yet been widely reported, so the scale and significance of the finding remain to be confirmed.
Why now: The announcement of a new form of magnetism with potential quantum technology applications is drawing attention from science readers.
