Magnetic Fields Significantly Impact Sound Wave Movements in a Revolutionary Discovery

Researchers have discovered a novel way that surface acoustic waves interact with magnetic materials, leading to a surprising asymmetric diffraction effect. This could revolutionize acoustic-based communication technologies. Credit: SciTechDaily.comBy experimenting with nanoscale magnetic materials, researchers have uncovered an asymmetric diffraction pattern in surface acoustic waves (SAWs)—a phenomenon previously seen only in optics. This breakthrough...

The Magnetic North Pole Has Shifted to a New Location

There's a new World Magnetic Model. (NOAA/NCEI/BGS)It’s time to update navigation systems for ships, airplanes, and perhaps even Santa’s sleigh: North Pole has officially shifted its position, continuing its movement away from Canada toward Siberia.Experts from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British Geological Survey (BGS) collaborated, as they do every...

Magnetic Metasheet Material Moves Objects Like a Conveyor Belt

The metasheet demonstrates its ability to move objects – in this case, rotating Petri dishesYinding ChiScientists at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have developed a magnetic "metasheet" capable of moving objects and liquids without the need for robotic arms or grippers.The device consists of a sheet made of elastic polymer with magnetic microparticles embedded...

Magnetic Displays Inspired by Squid Skin Reveal Encrypted Images

Magnetic pixels in this little screen are capable of encrypting imagesJeremy Little/Michigan EngineeringResearchers, inspired by the color-changing skin of squids and other cephalopods, have created a flexible screen that stores and displays encrypted images using only magnetic particles, without any electronics.Scientists have been experimenting with metamaterials—engineered materials with unusual properties not found in nature—for...
