New frontiers: magnetic equivalent of electricity demonstrated for the first time
This is way beyond my level of understanding, but something tells me it's going to be important.
Just as quantum mechanics (another topic way beyond my understanding) revolutionized modern technology, I have a feeling that we're going to end up seeing magnetric devices in common applications one day. "Magnetrics" ... or will it be "magnetronics"? "magnetrical"? There are so many words in every day use that would be utterly unfamiliar to someone even a few decades ago ... will this enter people's standard vocabulary just like "electronics"?The magnetic equivalent of electricity, dubbed "magnetricity", has been demonstrated experimentally for the first time. Just as the flow of electrons produces electrical current, individual north and south magnetic poles have been observed to roam freely, generating magnetic "current".
