A Common Bar Magnet

Every magnet has a North Pole and a South Pole. Now, scientists found magnetic monopoles, that is, magnets with only pole instead of two, which could bring about a great advancement in technology.

Ever wondered how the universe began? With the discovery of magnetic monopoles, it would be a major boost of "Grand unified theories of how the universe began, and also the answer to one of Cosmology's most important unsolved problems, which is that they might be the identity of the unseen dark matter that is thought to make up most of the universe.

Are you a “computer-person” who will groan in frustration when your computer's broadband isn't up to your standard in terms of speed? This is where magnetic monopoles come in. They can be practically useful as information can be stored magnetically in computers, and the ability to use magnetic charges rather than electric charges can boost computer’s speed and flexibility greatly.
