Equilibrium kink-like torsion deformation of a magnetoactive elastomer under a magnetic field
Semiconductors
Summary
arXiv:2602.23682v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A novel effect involving the formation of a stable kink-like torsion deformation in a magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) beam subjected to a uniform magnetic field is theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed. The phenomenon was demonstrated using an elastomer beam containing soft magnetic carbonyl iron microparticles within a silicone matrix. The torsion kink acts as a transition boundary between two undeformed homogeneous states of the beam.
Why It Matters
This Semiconductors development reshapes the global chip supply chain and the race for advanced-node leadership. For Asia, it is a signal worth tracking: it shapes who supplies, who scales, and who sets the standard over the next five years.
