**Can artificial materials become magnetic? ** 🧲The most commonly known forms of **magnetism** are **ferromagnetism** (the [spins of all the electrons](https://t.me/askmenow/3501) in a material point in the same direction) and its weaker version – **paramagnetism** (the electron spins point in random directions). 🧲Exploring properties of __**moiré materials (experimental materials made by stacking two-dimensional sheets of molybdenum diselenide and tungsten disulfide with a lattice structure containing electrons)** __[scientists discovered](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06633-0) a new form of magnetism. 🧲Initially the material exhibited paramagnetism, but as researchers added more electrons to the lattice, it showed a shift, becoming ferromagnetic. ❗️The existence of this alternate “kinetic magnetism” has been theoretically predicted for decades but not previously observed in solid materials. 🌡For this experiment, the material had to be cooled down to a fraction above [absolute zero](https://t.me/askmenow/3624), and the phenomenon will be investigated more closely at higher temperatures.
