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 ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

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

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool in condensed matter physics, offering new perspectives on the exploration of quantum many-body systems, phase transitions and exotic states of matter.
