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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
