Magnets tuned with lasers at room temperature could lead to faster hard drives and a new generation of computer chips.

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 ...

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 ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...
