A new review highlights exciting progress in atomically thin quantum materials where light and magnetism work together in ...

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 ...

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 ...

For comparison, Earth's magnetic field is about 100,000 times stronger than the minimum detectable field, yet around 1,000 times weaker than the maximum field the instrument can measure. This ...

New study at Hebrew University uncovered a previously unknown connection between light and magnetism. This discovery could lead to super-fast light-controlled memory technology and innovative sensors ...

Fusion researchers have long known that powerful magnets are the key to turning star-like reactions into a practical power source, and the latest generation of “super magnets” is starting to look less ...

A new study led by Vinod M. Menon and his group at the City College of New York shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical ...
