Comparatively speaking: Earth geomagnetism is about 0.5 T. A common magnet is 1.0 T A rare earth magnet is up to 1.4 T. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging is 1.5 T. Some high field MRI can reach up to 10 T. And experimentally, the limit was 90 T.
But this technology feature 300 T. It is insane and it can become a technological revolution.
Unless I misinterpreted things, there is no magnetic field at that strength - the electrons are merely behaving as if they were subjected to 300T due to some interesting properties of graphene. Perhaps someone more clued in that I can shed some light on this.
Exactly, it has been observed to make electrons behave as though a 300T magnetic field had been applied to them: not that a 300T magnetic field was generated.
So no hoever boards, no fridge magnets...
The most likely application for this technology, if it can be scaled and made stable will be in power generation. The stressed graphene will be embedded in alternators to replace the powerful electro magnets used now. Which if it works would significantly boost power generation by both removing the wasted energy to make the magnetic field and significantly boosting the effect on the electrons to the 300T range.
If the technology can't be scaled then it likely could still lead to more sensitive MEMS sensor technology: better gyro for your iPhone 6.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
