Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as ...

Discover how to build a magnetic repulsion motor capable of lighting LED bulbs using only magnets and basic components. This ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...

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 ...

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 ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

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 ...

Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and stores more data in less space. That's the promise of antiferromagnets, ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Basel have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using ...
