Physicist Creates Most Magnetic Material on Earth, Might Overturn Laws of Physics

The new compound is about 18 percent more magnetic than former magnet king iron cobalt

A more powerful magnetic material may have emerged to topple previous record-holder iron cobalt, until now the most magnetic material on Earth. The new iron and nitrogen compound might also force physicists to revise their understanding of magnetism, according to the http://www.mndaily.com/2010/04/01/prof-may-disprove-accepted-theory">Minnesota Daily.

The iron and nitrogen compound proved 18 percent more magnetic than iron cobalt in tests done by Jianping Wang, a physicist at the University of Minnesota. There also appears to be a "new physics" at work in the substance, but physicists at other labs must replicate the experiment and verify the work.

Wang reportedly found localized electrons in his iron and nitrogen compound, which have never shown up before in magnetic materials. Localized electrons are electron-pair bonds shared by nonmetals, as opposed to the free-flowing electrons typically related to magnetism and electric current.

Some physicists suspect that localized electrons, rather than free-flowing electrons, are more responsible for magnetism in materials. The discovery also appears to overturn traditional theories that set limits on the strength of magnetism in substances.

1. That's OK; the most recent political hacks on SCOTUS overturned the law on corporations

totally, after saying under oath, they respected precedent

and now the Repugs are threatening filibuster for a justice
too idealogical.

BRING OUT THE NUCLEAR OPTION !!!

3. "the most recent political hacks on SCOTUS overturned the law on corporations"

You're confusing "laws" with LAWS.

It's OK, really. That's one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia."

But only slightly less famous is, "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

AHAHAHAHA!

AHAHAHAHA!
