Breakthrough in Rare-Earth Magnetism Enhances Quantum Technologies

Scientists have discovered a new type of magnetism in neodymium nitride (NdN), which arises from the orbital angular momentum of electrons, rather than the traditional spin-driven magnetism. This finding, led by the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, opens new avenues in quantum and spintronic technologies, potentially leading to
