For decades, magnetism was largely understood through two categories: ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. The distinction rests on how electronic spins behave within a material. In ferromagnets, spins align in the same direction and produce a measurable magnetic field. In antiferromagnets, neighboring spins point in alternating directions, effectively canceling one another...
