Superconducting altermagnets could carry spin without energy loss

Summary by Phys.org
Researchers have proposed that a newly identified class of magnetic materials could extend the zero-resistance currents of superconductors to electron spins. Publishing their calculations in Physical Review X, Kyle Monkman and colleagues at the University of British Columbia propose how "altermagnets" could enable persistent spin currents to flow without dissipation. If confirmed experimentally, the effect could provide a powerful new platform f…
