New observation could provide way to increase the strength of interaction between light and matter, eventually leading to smaller lasers and other improved photonic technologies UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — ...

New study at Hebrew University uncovered a previously unknown connection between light and magnetism. This discovery could lead to super-fast light-controlled memory technology and innovative sensors ...

An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has discovered a highly efficient mechanism for shaking magnets using very short light pulses, shorter than a trillionth of a second.

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 ...

Researchers cracked the mystery of altermagnets, materials with no net magnetization yet strange light-reflecting powers, by creating a new optical measurement method. Their findings confirmed ...

Scientists have achieved the impossible-sounding feat of bringing light to a standstill, in a breakthrough that could pave the way for new lasers and quantum light sources. The trick was achieved in a ...

A new initiative is emerging at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Under the direction of principal ...

Niron Magnetics aims to use cheap, widely available materials to make magnets for EVs and wind turbines. The motor in your vacuum cleaner and the one in your electric vehicle likely have at least one ...

(Nanowerk News) When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the ...
