An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has discovered a highly efficient mechanism for shaking ...

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 ...

The potential of quantum technology is huge but is today largely limited to the extremely cold environments of laboratories. Now, researchers have succeeded in demonstrating for the very first time ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism are related. A new study revealed that the magnetic component of light ...

Led by researchers at Lancaster University, the international team showed that subtle electronic effects can greatly amplify ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through, a pure messenger of energy and information that leaves magnetic order ...
