Another real-world use for magnetic field cloaking would be medicine. Magnetic resonance imaging or MRI, utilizes magnetic fields. A cloaking device for magnetic fields could make it easier for doctors to utilize MRI during operations by idingthe field from surgical instruments. hat just one application.
But who knows what other applications there could be for this theory, which works for almost any kind of wave, said Uhlmann.
The primary reason this theory seemed so far from practice centered on the physical and mathematical constraints of the cloaking field.

#Earths magnetic field could flip within a human lifetime Imagine the world waking up one morning to discover that all compasses pointed south instead of north.
Earth's magnetic field has flipped--though not overnight--many times throughout the planet's history. Its dipole magnetic field like that of a bar magnet remains about the same intensity for thousands to millions of years but for incompletely known reasons it occasionally weakens
and presumably over a few thousand years reverses direction. Now a new study by a team of scientists from Italy France Columbia University and the University of California Berkeley demonstrates that the last magnetic reversal 786000 years ago actually happened very quickly in less than 100 years--roughly a human lifetime.

Modern hard discs utilize this phenomenon to significantly alter the resistance of a material by exposing it to a magnetic field.
The resistance of niobium phosphide changes so dramatically in a magnetic field, because the charge carriers are deflected by a phenomenon known as the Lorentz force.
This force causes an increasing percentage of electrons to start flowing in the rongdirection as the magnetic field is ramped up,
