MODERATORS
Everybody gave them shit for admitting to not know how magnets work (in a song), and yet, 99% of the public don't even know there's three forms.
I bet you don’t know how to use the three shells
For anyone interested in what they could be used for, but without time to read the article,
On a nano level, everything we store inside our devices is the result of the coordinated action of electrons. If these materials could be improved, it could mean higher efficiency, more storage within the same size of material, and less loss when data is accessed.
Because
...in [this] paper, scientists show that they can tune these materials very precicely in order to create specific directions of magnetism.
While the traditional ferromagnets we use today are fine in many ways, they aren’t ideal, and can introduce a blurring between separated bits of data known as crosstalk.
Nano machines!? I wonder if this will allow smaller than 1nm chip manufacturing.
THE NANO MACHINES WILL ALLOW MORE MEMES
West pole
Kanye West pole?
There's a second form of magnetism?
apparently it's one of those "technically correct but also obviously nonsense" things: there's no different type of electromagnetism, but specific materials can be magnetic in different ways, dimagnetic/ferromagnetic/paramagnetic, and the stuff the article is about seems to be at least the fourth kind... urgh
Animal Magnetism
He has the kavorka!
2025 we’re finding out animal magnetism was real all along, but it requires a certain concentration of microplastics to work
The best kind!
Uh, don't we already have three? Dia-, ferro- and paramagnetism?
and Antiferro-, Ferrimagnetism.
Mesmer was right all along
Magnets are the solution, just you wait
Real question:
This article has been SPAMMED over Lemmy for the past week, what made you post it 8 days after it was made?
That's essentially old news on a platform that moves as fast as this
This is my first time seeing this article and I scroll through all a few times a day
Sorry, it was my first time seeing it. And when I posted it to this community, I didn't get an alert that it's already been posted. So I posted.
I sorta go on a science binge every few weeks. So I just read a bunch and post what is interesting. But I don't follow it every day. Hence me replying to you after 18 days. Thanks!
