New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes ...

Which magnetic building blocks are best? Parents are giving their babies, kids and toddlers more STEM toys to educate them and help them succeed in a global market. Sets of magnetic building blocks ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

For the new device, the researchers used a magneto-optical material called cerium-doped yttrium iron garnet (Ce:YIG), which was provided by Yuya Shoji from the Institute of Science, Tokyo. When an ...

Which magnetic building block sets are best? Magnetic building block sets accomplish something that very few toys marketed as educational can actually accomplish: they’re as much fun as they are ...
