Researchers have discovered a new class of magnets that expand their volume when placed in a magnetic field and generate negligible amounts of wasteful heat during energy harvesting. This transformative breakthrough has the potential to not only displace existing technologies but create altogether new applications due to the unusual combination of magnetic properties.
These findings could fundamentally change the way we think about a certain type of magnetism that has been in place since 1841.Image credit: Harsh Deep Chopra/Temple University
