New Magnetic Metal Says to Shiver and Heat
A new magnetic metal announced by Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus Ohio can lose and regain magnetism to operate electric switches across temperatures from 150 below zero to 1100 above. The material enables automatic controls such as turning on heat at 50 degrees and cutting it off when temperature rises, and can trigger fans, fire sprinklers, alarms, refrigeration and air conditioning. It could protect machinery from overheating by shivering and cutting power, offering broad temperature use and flame resilience.
