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 ...

Turning light into magnetic insight The new magnetometer was developed as part of the U.S. National Science Foundation's Quantum Sensing Challenges for Transformational Advances in Quantum Systems ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, light-induced thermomagnetic recording in a magnetic thin-film on silicon waveguides. The new writing technique is poised to enable ...

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 ...

"By incorporating magneto-optic materials directly onto a photonic integrated circuit, we expand the range of integrated photonic components and introduce functionalities that stem from their unique ...
