Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden magnetic ingredient inside this classic effect. The new work reveals that the ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the Faraday effect, overturning a 180-year-old assumption that only its ...

As an electromagnetic radiation phenomenon, it’s perhaps not so surprising that light is affected by a magnetic field. This Faraday effect (FE) has been used since its discovery by [Michael Faraday] ...
