Itholwa Nini Futhi Kuphi Umazibuthe

Uzibuthe awusungulwa ngumuntu, kodwa uyinto engokwemvelo kazibuthe. AmaGreki asendulo namaShayina athola itshe lemvelo elizibuthe emvelweni

Ibizwa ngokuthi "zibuthe". Lolu hlobo lwetshe lungakwazi ukumunca izingcezu zensimbi ngomlingo futhi luhlale lukhomba ohlangothini olufanayo ngemva kokushwibeka ngokungahleliwe. Amatilosi asendulo ayesebenzisa uzibuthe njengekhampasi yawo yokuqala ukuze atshele indlela olwandle. Owokuqala ukuthola nokusebenzisa omazibuthe kufanele kube yiShayina, okusho ukuthi, ukwenza "ikhampasi" ngozibuthe kungenye yezinto ezine eziqanjiwe zaseChina ezinkulu.

Esikhathini se-Waring States, okhokho baseShayina baqongelele ulwazi oluningi mayelana nalokhu mkhuba kazibuthe. Lapho behlola insimbi yensimbi, babevame ukuhlangana ne-magnetite, okungukuthi, i-magnetite (ikakhulukazi eyakhiwe nge-ferric oxide). Lokhu okutholakele kwaqoshwa kudala. Lokhu okutholakele kwabhalwa okokuqala eGuanzi: "lapho kukhona odonsa entabeni, kunegolide nethusi ngaphansi kwayo."

Ngemva kwezinkulungwane zeminyaka yokuthuthuka, uzibuthe ube yinto enamandla ekuphileni kwethu. Ngokuhlanganisa ama-alloys ahlukene, umphumela ofanayo ungafinyelelwa njengalowo kazibuthe, futhi amandla kazibuthe nawo angathuthukiswa. Umuntu wenza omazibuthe bavela ngekhulu le-18, kodwa inqubo yokwenza izinto zikazibuthe ezinamandla yayihamba kancane kwaze kwaba yilapho ukukhiqizwaAlnicongawo-1920. Ngemva kwalokho,Impahla kazibuthe Ferriteyasungulwa futhi yakhiqizwa ngawo-1950 futhi omazibuthe bomhlaba abangavamile (okuhlanganisa i-Neodymium ne-Samarium Cobalt) bakhiqizwa ngawo-1970. Kuze kube manje, ubuchwepheshe kazibuthe buye bathuthukiswa ngokushesha, futhi izinto eziqinile kazibuthe nazo zenza izingxenye ze-miniaturized.
