Scientists Trapped Light Inside a Metamaterial and Made It 10x More Magnetic
Scientists Trapped Light Inside a Metamaterial and Made It 10x More Magnetic
This could open doors to technologies we thought were impossible.
Trapping Spren in Fabrials is challenging!
Stop spilling the artifabrian secrets.
“Since the light bounces back and forth inside the magnet, interactions are genuinely enhanced,” CCNY’s Florian Dirnberger, the lead-author of the study, said in a press statement. “To give an example, when we apply an external magnetic field the near-infrared reflection of light is altered so much, the material basically changes its color. That's a pretty strong magneto-optic response.”
That's really neat. Maybe this can lead to actual active camouflage. Still early days though so who knows.
Reminds me of this:
This is so far above my head that I’m not certain what to be excited about, but I’ve always been convinced the answer is magnets so..
