Polarized light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for peering inside matter, yet the way it twists, scatters ...

Magneto-optical effects in plasmonic nanostructures represent an exciting frontier in the convergence of photonics, nanomagnetism and materials science. By harnessing the strong local electromagnetic ...

A collaborative team has developed a new way to create magnetic optical materials, one that removes a long-standing design ...

Nanoscale maze-like magnetic patterns form reliably across strained substrates, removing a key bottleneck for faster, more ...

Researchers have developed a precision magnetometer based on a special material that changes optical properties in response ...

(A) a single magnetic domain and (B) multiple magnetic domains with opposite polarization. (C) Following the subtraction of image (A) from image (B), a Kerr image with sharp contrast is obtained [39].

Now, researchers at Aalto University in Finland have created a new optical metamaterial that may make true one-way glass a reality. In its most general form, the magnetoelectric (ME) effect denotes a ...

Photon, an elementary particle that transmits electromagnetic interaction, is a kind of gauge boson. Photons are the carriers of electromagnetic radiation, and photons are considered as the medium of ...
