Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

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 ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism ...

New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology ...
