UNNATURAL MAGNETISM. "We thus seek to extend the material parameter space by creating electromagnetic metamaterials—ordered composite materials that display electromagnetic properties beyond those found in naturally occurring materials." https://lnkd.in/e2vfrtX View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC CLOAKS. "In 2008 John Pendry and colleagues at Imperial College London proposed such a magnetic cloak based on a metamaterial that has a magnetic permeability that is smaller than one in a given direction and larger than one in a direction perpendicular to it." https://lnkd.in/eUmSCNY View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC CLOAKS. "While superconductors have a permeability of zero and ferromagnetic materials have a permeability greater than one, developing a material that has both properties simultaneously proved problematic." https://lnkd.in/eUmSCNY View in LinkedIn

"MUCH OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY rests on our ability to send electromagnetic waves from point A to point B with minimal loss of energy and information. Infrared waves confined to optical fibers carry data over the internet, whereas raw electric power is distributed to large cities through high-voltage transmission lines." https://lnkd.in/evNgRhQ View in LinkedIn

IMPRACTICAL. "Static magnetic fields are, however, much more difficult to channel long distance. Instead, these fields typically fall off quickly with distance from their source (usually a magnetic dipole)." https://lnkd.in/evNgRhQ View in LinkedIn

ANTI-MAGNET BREAKTHROUGH. "Alvaro Sanchez of the Autonomous University of Barcelona "have designed and tested a magnetic “hose” that channels the magnetic field from a source to a distance more than 10 centimeters away." https://lnkd.in/evNgRhQ View in LinkedIn

ANTI-MAGNET. "Although magnetic flux guides already exist, the authors’ new design has the potential to transfer magnetic fields over longer distances without degradation, and could be used to increase the storage density of magnetic recording media, or to create higher resolution magnetic images of materials and devices, among other applications." https://lnkd.in/evNgRhQ View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC CLOAKING. "The sneaky science of “cloaking” just keeps getting richer. Physicists and engineers had already demonstrated rudimentary invisibility cloaks that can hide objects from light, sound, and water waves. Now, they’ve devised an “antimagnet” cloak that can shield an object from a constant magnetic field without disturbing that field." https://lnkd.in/exfa37a View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC CLOAK (2012). "Magnetic materials naturally exist with extreme magnetic permeability values ranging from zero - superconductors - to effectively infinity - ferromagnets -, through many intermediate values. Metamaterials built from different combinations of them have enabled the realization of magnetic cloaks, and other devices for shaping magnetic fields." https://lnkd.in/eG3bEYG View in LinkedIn

THIS BLOG is simply an attempt to highlight some of the extraordinary ideas of brilliant minds in the (predominantly) life sciences. Research today, built upon the greatest accumulation of science in the history of mankind in the last 100 years, is of remarkable quality, continually shattering previous paradigms with bold and unexpected findings.
