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 ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism are related. A new study revealed that the magnetic component of light ...

New observation could provide way to increase the strength of interaction between light and matter, eventually leading to smaller lasers and other improved photonic technologies UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — ...

New device switches terahertz pulses between electric and magnetic skyrmions On-demand control of stable toroidal vortices lays groundwork for robust wireless data e ...

Scientists have used light to visualize magnetic domains, and manipulated these regions using an electric field, in a quantum antiferromagnet. This method allows real-time observation of magnetic ...
