Magnetic Hair
MIT Made A Material That Makes Fluids Forget About Gravity And It Workes
Published on 4 Aug 2014
MIT engineers have fabricated a new elastic material coated with microscopic, hairlike structures that tilt in response to a magnetic field. (Learn more about these structures:http://bit.ly/1y2E8SX)
Depending on the field's orientation, the microhairs can tilt to form a path through which fluid can flow; the material can even direct water upward, against gravity.
A new moisture-wicking microhair-coated material from +MIT Mechanical Engineering could be used to develop "smart windows" that redirect sun and rain.
