Physicists observed a strange new type of behaviour in a magnetic material when it’s heated up. The magnetic spins ‘freeze’ into a static pattern when the temperature rises, a phenomenon that normally occurs when the temperature decreases. They publish their findings in Nature Physics on July 4th.
The researchers discovered the phenomenon in the material neodymium, an element that they described several years ago as a ‘self-induced spin glass’...
