Most bizarre magnet is an invisible material that erases its magnetic field

SMRTR summary

Magnets are useful but create invisible fields that interfere with nearby electronics, making miniaturization difficult. Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark have built a molecular magnet that stays magnetically strong internally while barely leaking any external field — and remains stable above room temperature. Made from chromium atoms and pyrazine molecules, this material could allow electronic components to be packed closer together, advancing faster, more energy-efficient spin-based devices.
