Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

(Nanowerk News) Unlike electrons, particles of light are uncharged, so they do not respond to magnetic fields. Despite this, researchers have now experimentally made light effectively “feel” a ...

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 ...

Professor Amir Capua, head of the Spintronics Lab within the Institute of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, announced a pivotal breakthrough in the realm of ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Modern life is made possible by electromagnetism. Any piece of technology you use today uses some electromagnetic property ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing and quantum technologies Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and ...

(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 ...

Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of ...

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. — ...
