Arabiaweather.com - Scientists have discovered a new material that can make liquids defy gravity and thus end the era of car front wipers.
Scientists have found a new gravity-defying technique that makes water flow from bottom to top. This technique works by using a material with thousands of tiny metal hairs that move in response to a magnetic field.
direction of the magnetic field
The direction of change of the tiny metal filaments changes when the researchers change the direction of the magnetic field, forcing fluids and even light to move according to the direction of the filaments.
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States (MIT) hope to benefit from this technology in developing their research so that the new material can be used to create windows that resist glare from the sun and clothes that are resistant to rain.
It should be noted that the tiny hairs inside the new material are made of nickel, and the length of each hair is about 70 microns and its width is 25 microns, which is about a quarter of the diameter of a human hair.
The intended goal of this technology:
Scientists aim from this technology to be able to make waterproof materials, materials that resist solar glare, while covering windows and car windows with the new material, and also in the near term to bring devices containing microchips from the new material to direct the flow of cells and other biological materials through microchannels, so that it can Controlling the direction of fluid flow by changing the direction of the magnetic field and supplying laboratories.
Scientists say more complex magnetic fields can be engineered to create complex patterns of fluid motion.
