AI agents find two room-temperature magnet candidates for future memory (opens the source in a new tab)
- A team of AI agent AI software that takes actions on its own, like booking, buying or moving money, not just answering questions. designed a new compound and spotted a 1999 one as magnets with zero net magnetism that still sort electrons by spin.
- The 1999 compound, KV[Cr(CN)₆], stayed magnetically ordered up to 376 K (103 °C); the new design may be hard to make in its useful form.
- Band gaps and spin sorting are predicted by simulation, not yet measured; the code and calculations are public.
- 376 K
- Stays magnetic up to 103°C

Why it matters It points to denser, faster computer memory, found partly by AI.
Other side Spin sorting is predicted, not yet measured; the real test is remaking the material in a lab.
