I wonder if this is applicable to electric motors? Probably not since the force is described as “unstable” in the article but interesting to think about.

I think it's a bit deceitful of the headline to call this a new magnet since most laypeople think of a magnet as something that has a net magnetization, whereas this material, while technically a magnet because it has magnetic order, lacks the one defining characteristic in laypeople's minds: it won't stick to other metals via a magnetic field.
