Electricity has a new little sister, Magnetricity.

While I was searching for the news in the science, I found a really interesting theme. The tittle of the theme was Magnetricity and to be honest, I was really curious about it. After some research, I found that Magnetricity is the use of the Magnetic charges, which behave like Electric charges,that flow into biological systems and batteries and  they may could be used in the future for example for magnetronic devises.That was discovered by a english team of scientists at a not specific time period[it is not known when they discovered it].

Then an other scientist,Steven Bramwell, discovered that a molecule flips and squirms. That helped him got realize, after he made it to separate the two poles of a magnet,that the monopoles can move independently one from each other. This scientist also said that these monopoles are getting so far one from each other that they even cannot remember one each other.That was one of the reasons why I liked that theme.
  
That theme is also really interesting because a lot of scientist have told that Magnetricity could be used for charging magnets or it could be used for mini memory to the computers.


The magnetic charges can be created only when you put spin ice (two monopoles) in a temperature that is almost absolute zero.

There is a really big possibility that Magnetricity could be used in the future, but to do that the spin ice must be in a temperature that is almost absolute zero.

  1. This is a really interesting story that has significant implications for the development of new technologies. Well done for writing about this very technical topic which is still not well understood by scientists and engineers. You have done a good job of describing how magnetic poles are isolated and what the challenges are to applying magnetricity (i.e. that very cold temperatures are required). It would be good to have more information on what a 'magnetronic' device is and how scientists really believe it can be used. And I wonder...why do you call magnetricity electricity's little sister?
