For nearly two centuries, scientists believed that light’s electric field was solely responsible for the Faraday Effect, ...

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 ...

Engineers at the University of Delaware have uncovered a way to bridge magnetism and electricity through magnons—tiny waves that carry information without electrical current. These magnetic waves can ...

Physicists at MIT have spotted a fresh type of magnetism in nickel iodide (NiI₂), a two‑dimensional crystal. It mixes traits of everyday magnets and subtle, hidden ones, yet forms a distinct spiral ...

MIT physicists have found a new form of magnetism that can be used to build denser and less power-hungry memory chips at a denser rate. The physicists have branded this new form as ‘p-wave magnetism.’ ...

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up ...

More than a century ago, Albert Einstein searched for a single theory that could describe two or more known interactions—electromagnetism, gravity, and the weak and strong forces—previously described ...

The film discusses the historical development and principles of electrodynamics, starting with Luigi Galvani's chance discovery of electric current through the twitching of a frog's leg. It explains ...

Nanoscale detection and control of magnetic order are crucial for various types of magnetism research and devices. Typically, this involves breaking time-reversal symmetry, a feature found in ...
