Korean scientists discover a phenomenon that makes a plastic-based nanofiber into a zero magneto resistant material.
The team led by Park Yung-woo at Seoul National University said laboratory tests conducted on a single strand of polyacetylene nanofiber, a conductor of electricity, showed no magnetoresistance when it was subject to a powerful magnet that naturally creates a magnetic field.
The discovery marks the first time that scientists have discovered a nanofiber with such characteristics. The findings have been published in the latest issue of the Chemical Society Review journal.
The technology is applied in a variety of fields including ABS (Antilock Braking Systems) For an example and simple explanation: http://www.asashop.org/autoinc/aug2001/mech.htm
