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 ...

A breakthrough moment in a physics experiment demonstrating the Faraday effect, showing how magnetic fields can influence the rotation of light polarization. This captures the key moment when the ...

Light’s neglected magnetic side is finally being written into the physics of how it twists as it travels through magnetized matter. In an experimental and theoretical study in Scientific Reports, ...
