There are solid-state microphones, based on piezoelectric materials
They say it's magnetic rubber, which would explain movement to electricity, but light? How can magnets capture light energy?
Electron excitation
So Vibranium is not a metal after all!
We will finally have a Black Panther's suit that stores energy only to release back later.
Is there a paper?
There are a bunch here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Kunio_Shimada
This guys's research history: I love magnetic fluid and I'm not tired of trying new things about it.
It's fascinating how people's obsession with obscure things yield scientifically significant results.

We've picked up some unusual traffic from your network and have temporarily blocked access from your IP address.
Do you use a VPN?
Your network isn't referring to /your personal/ network. The filtering is more likely ASN wide (i.e: targets entire netblocks / ISPs).
There sadly are a lot of ISPs who are known to ignore abuse reports completely leading to issues like these.

This reminds me a bit of how flubber works in the 1960s Disney movie "The Absent-Minded Professor".
This could be how the robots in Westworld got their power!
Alternately, would this imply that it would be a good solid-state microphone?
