🧲 Now in npj Computational Materials: 'Attosecond magnetization dynamics in non-magnetic materials driven by intense femtosecond lasers' - a study by Ofer Neufeld and members of our Theory Department. They show that fast electron dynamics in bismuthumane (BiH) can be converted to #attosecond magnetism and predict a magnetic response at record speed. Such processes could be important for future memory storage devices.
