Both extrinsic and intrinsic factors determine the properties of ferroic materials and are difficult to disentangle. This study on artificial crystals of planar nanomagnets with well-defined, tuneable magnetic interactions unveils the intrinsic correlations between microscopic interactions and macroscopic properties such as the domain size and morphology or the domain-wall mobility.
