Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that light’s long-ignored magnetic field may directly drive the Faraday effect.

A team of material scientists led by Jiang Li from Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Shanghai, China recently reported (Tb 1-x Y x) 3 Al 5 O 12 magneto-optical ceramics ...

Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have gone back to that ...

New research reveals light's magnetic field directly influences matter, causing scientists to rethink the 'Faraday Effect.' ...

(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].

For nearly two centuries, scientists have believed that only the electric side of light played a role in certain magnetic ...

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 ...

A new type of magnetic quasiparticle has been created by coupling light to a stack of ultrathin two-dimensional magnets. This achievement lays the foundation for an emergent strategy to artificially ...

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 ...
