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.

Sure, that sounds like a pretty good analogy, but it didn't read as if you could program these? I just wonder more specifically what they do to the polarisation at what points. Could we make logic gates that practically require no power?

    Pretty sure i've read something similiar once, about surface waves in the outermost electron layer. They even built logic gates. Minus point was the relative large structure size for it to work, plus point that it requires next to no power. No clue what happened with it.
