Memory devices have traditionally relied on ferromagnetic materials such as iron and cobalt for data storage. These materials align the magnetic fields of individual atoms to store data. However, ferromagnets are not without their challenges. Neighboring areas can interfere, leading to spontaneous magnetization that corrupts data. This limitation restricts memory density, rendering ferromagnets less than

Cerium, a rare Earth metal, is known for its various technological applications, such as in lightbulbs and flat-screen TVs. Even though the element is scarce in Earth’s crust, it is relatively more abundant in the universe. However, there is still much mystery surrounding how cerium is synthesized in stars.
