Ferroelectric Switchable Altermagnetism: A New Paradigm for Multiferroic Control

An international collaboration led by Dr. Alessandro Stroppa (CNR-SPIN, Italy) and Prof. Qihang Liu (Southern University of Science and Technology, China), with researchers from the Korea Institute for Advanced Study, has achieved a groundbreaking advance in magnetoelectric materials.The team has discovered a novel phenomenon termed "Ferroelectric Switchable Altermagnetism," demonstrating for the first time the reversible electrical control of altermagnetic spin states through ferroelectric polarization switching. This fundamental breakthrough, published as an Editors' Suggestion in Physical Review Letters and featured in Physics, establishes a new mechanism for non-volatile electrical manipulation of magnetic order with the first theoretical demonstration of electrically tunable altermagnetic properties, and a transformative approach for developing fully voltage-controlled multiferroic devices.

Entanglement at the nanoscale: new perspectives in the realization of quantum bit sources on a chip

Two-dimensional nano-engineered semiconductors represent an innovative solution for generating quantum bits on ultra-compact spatial scales. This finding, just published in Nature Photonics, emerges from a study led by Chiara Trovatello of the Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with an international team that includes Carino Ferrante from CNR-SPIN in L’Aquila, Andrea Marini from the University of L’Aquila and researchers from other prestigious institutions such as Columbia University, the University of Vienna, and the University of Chicago.
