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

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

INDUCED MAGNETISM. "The possibility of magnetism without inherently magnetic materials turns out to be a natural match for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which we use as an example of a potential application area for metamaterials." https://lnkd.in/ewjS99N View in LinkedIn

ARTIFICIAL MAGNETISM. "These nonmagnetic structures consisted of arrays of wire loops in which an external applied magnetic field could induce a current, thus producing an effective magnetic response." https://lnkd.in/ewjS99N View in LinkedIn

ARTIFICIAL MAGNETISM. "In 1999, several artificial materials were introduced, based on conducting elements designed to provide a magnetic response at microwave and lower frequencies." https://lnkd.in/ewjS99N View in LinkedIn

PHOTONS TRUMP ELECTRONS. “Our system is a clear direction toward demonstrating on-chip applications of a new type of light-based communication device that solves a number of existing challenges." https://lnkd.in/egWQir9 View in LinkedIn

PHOTONS TRUMP ELECTRONS. “The new device, therefore, solves at least one major drawback of current photonic systems that use fiber optic cables. Photons tend to reverse course in such systems, causing a form of reflective noise known as backscatter." https://lnkd.in/egWQir9 View in LinkedIn

PHOTONIC CRYSTALS. "To create the device, the researchers made “a grid of tiny cavities etched in silicon, forming the photonic crystal. By precisely applying electric current to the grid they can control — or ‘harmonically tune'...the photonic crystal to synthesize magnetism and exert virtual force upon photons." https://lnkd.in/egWQir9 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.

PHOTONIC CRYSTALS. "This technology is built upon recent research into photonic crystals, which are crystals that can ‘trap’ and release photons." https://lnkd.in/egWQir9 View in LinkedIn
