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 ...

Recently, with the help of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility, a research team led by Professor SHENG Zhigao at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for ...

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 ...

Researchers in Germany and the USA have produced the first theoretical demonstration that the magnetic state of an atomically thin material, ?-RuCl3, can be controlled solely by placing it into an ...

Having good neighbours can be very valuable – even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine ...

Multicrystalline Fine Ceramics (also referred to as "advanced ceramics") possess a microstructure of crystal grain boundaries and microscopic pores, which diffuses light and impedes light transmission ...
