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 ...

A team of scientists has developed a powerful new way to detect subtle magnetic signals in common metals like copper, gold, and aluminum—using nothing more than light and a clever technique. Their ...

Lighting up a bulb using magnets... or not! 🤔🤣!!

Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...

The lighting in my shop sucks. It’s easy to understand why I’ve taken up a bit of an infatuation with work lights. Now, don’t get me wrong, the real solution is to install some good permanent lighting ...

Light-switchable molecules could tune spin-wave filters in 2D magnets, offering a chemical route to reprogrammable nanoscale magnetic circuits. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A radio antenna can pick up many ...
