Chimeric Materials: Magnetic Expulsion Without Superconductivity ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Chimeric states of matter: Meissner effect without superconductivity"
Physicists have found a way to create materials that expel a magnetic field even if they are not superconductors—this overturns our ideas about phases of matter.

An ordinary metal expels a magnetic field like a superconductor—without any cooling to cosmic cold. It's not a trick, but a new chimeric state of matter where order and disorder coexist. Such materials will allow controlling magnetic fields at room temperature, paving the way for simple magnetic shields and levitation.
🎯 The Meissner effect so impressed scientists when it was discovered in 1933 that they dubbed it 'magnetic flux expulsion', as if the field were an uninvited guest being kicked out.
🎬 In 'Star Trek', materials that change properties on command often appear. Chimeric states could be the beginning of such programmable matter.
