Some of the sexiest sentences in research finding I have read. “ Their results showed direct experimental evidence of chirality – an asymmetric magnetic structure, akin to a spiral staircase or a screw – in the spins of an altermagnetic candidate material.”

I appreciate the clarity that crystallizes in poetry this author manages!

> Altermagnetic materials could be used to design advanced electronics, with applications including quantum technologies, memory devices and data centers.

I liked this bit: low level devices and data centers — as if these are on the same scale
