- Vals AI published a technical writeup detailing the two room-temperature antiferromagnetic semiconductor candidates found by a team of Claude Opus 5.5 agents: one newly designed compound and one first synthesized in 1999, both predicted to have zero net magnetism while still sorting electrons by spin.
- The post includes a 90-second primer on ferromagnets vs antiferromagnets and spintronics, explaining why such materials matter for next-generation memory like MRAM.
- Full calculations, code, and caveats are shared openly.
