The scientific community has debated for decades whether Fermion may have strong magnetism in the gaseous or liquid state, and the MIT research has given an exact answer. Keitler, a physics professor and research team leader at the school, stated that this discovery is very important and will advance people's understanding of the physical phenomenon of magnetism. Magnetic materials have significant application value in data storage, nanotechnology, and medical diagnosis.

The announcement said that if this discovery is confirmed, it will rewrite the description of magnetic theory in physics textbooks, indicating that Fermion gas does not need crystal structure to have strong magnetism. Scott Prickard, a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and another research leader, pointed out: "Our evidence is very convincing, but it is not an easy task to fully prove that (gases have strong magnetism). We did not observe how the atoms point to the region. These atoms begin to form molecules and may not have enough time to adjust themselves
