The potential of quantum technology is huge but is today largely limited to the extremely cold environments of laboratories. Now, researchers have succeeded in demonstrating for the very first time ...

A new study shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses of magnets are important for the development of magnetic ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...

Vinod M. Menon and his research group at The City College of New York shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing and quantum technologies Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the Faraday effect, overturning a 180-year-old assumption that only its ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...
