Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden magnetic ingredient inside this classic effect. The new work reveals that the ...

A new study shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses of magnets are important for the development of magnetic ...

Vinod M. Menon and his research group at The City College of New York shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses ...

The Goos-Hänchen effect refers to the small lateral displacement experienced by a light beam when it is reflected from an interface, a phenomenon that deviates from the simple predictions of geometric ...

For the first time, an international cadre of electrical engineers has developed a new method for photonic in-memory computing that could make optical computing a reality in the near future. Until now ...

Photon, an elementary particle that transmits electromagnetic interaction, is a kind of gauge boson. Photons are the carriers of electromagnetic radiation, and photons are considered as the medium of ...

Researchers have experimentally realized an optical effect predicted over 75 years ago: the Tellegen effect, where electric and magnetic responses intertwine in a nonreciprocal way. Using nanoscale ...
