Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

By applying the Kerr effect, Kerr microscopy facilitates the analysis of magnetic domains in steel alloys, supporting ...

A group of scientists has found a way to spot very faint magnetic signals in everyday metals like copper, gold, and aluminum, using only light and a refined technique. Their study, published in Nature ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered the magnetic properties and underlying mechanisms of a novel magnet using advanced optical techniques. Their study focused on an organic crystal believed to be a promising ...

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 have experimentally realized an optical effect predicted over 75 years ago: the Tellegen effect, where electric ...

Research shows that external impulses in non-reciprocal optical solitary waves can exceed expected momentum responses, ...
