Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

In a twist befitting the strange nature of quantum mechanics, physicists have discovered the Hall effect -- a characteristic change in the way electricity is conducted in the presence of a magnetic ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

It’s a fact that the reactivity of singlet oxygen is controlled by magnetic fields. This groundbreaking discovery has led researchers to believe that there may be a previously unknown magnetoreceptor ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Scientists have proved the existence of a magnetic effect that could explain why solar-like stars spin very slowly at the end of their lifetime. Researchers from the Leibniz-Institut fuer Astrophysik ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...

Physicists in China have uncovered new evidence that chiral phonons and magnons can interact strongly inside magnetic crystals. Using neutron spectroscopy, a team led by Song Bao at Nanjing University ...
