Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Quantum computers are still a work in progress but quantum sensors are already in use at hospitals, laboratories and by defense contractors.

At some point, you've probably heard the stern warning: Never put magnets near your electronics! It's advice so ingrained in tech culture that it feels like a law of physics. But is it true? Was it ...
