In this talk, I will present our discovery of the intrinsic ferromagnetism in 2D van der Waals (vdW) crystals, including the prominent dimensionality effect and unprecedented magnetic field control of the Curie temperature in the nearly-ideal 2D Heisenberg ferromagnet. Significant fundamental physics in 2D magnetism and the corresponding exotic phenomena we observed will be expounded. Updated research on the complex magnon scatterings, material level engineering of 2D magnetism, and the development of novel concept of spintronic devices will be further discussed. Finally, I will envision the possible directions towards advancing 2D magnets for practical spintronic applications.
