Magnetic Electricity and Benefits It Brings to Industries

Scientific researches that were carried out during the past few years have given life to a magnetic substance that is equivalent to electricity. This magnetic material is equipped with single magnetic charges that can interact with each other like electric particles. This has given a new ray of hope for the scientists, who are looking for an effective alternative for electricity.
Their initial objective of the experiment was to use magnetic monopoles that can be found in special crystals and make electricity out of them. They have published an article about this to the Nature journal as well. In the article, they have showed that magnetic monopoles get together with each other like electricity. They have also given a special name for this incident as magnetic electricity.
Magnetic monopoles were discovered about a century ago and it has taken a considerable amount of time to discover magnetic electricity. Electricity is carried from one place to another via protons and electrons in conductors. However, there are no such particles that carry magnetic charges in such a manner. This can be considered as the main reason why it took such a long time for the scientists to discover the magnetic electricity phenomenon.

According to the latest researches, magnetic monopoles are responsible for carrying magnetic charges and giving life to the scenario like electricity. However, such charges can only be found in spin ice crystals that are made out of charged atoms in pyramid shape. They show discrete or small packets of magnetic charge flow. The scientists have also shown that these magnetic charge particles can move together to form a magnetic current, that has similar properties to electric current.

They have showed this using sub-atomic particles called muons that were created at the Science and Technology Facilities Council's muon and neuron source near Oxford. Like most of the materials, muons decay and the decay time is small as millionth of a second. This gives life to a tiny region of muons around the magnetic particle. When these muons interact with magnetic monopoles, they move around like electric charges. However, the studies are still being conducted to show how effective they are and if they become successful, people will get the opportunity to find a successful alternative for electricity.
