Synthetic magnetism used to control light: Opens door to nanoscale applications that use light instead of electricity

Wednesday, October 31, 2012 - 15:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Physics and engineering researchers have demonstrated a device that produces a synthetic magnetism to exert virtual force on photons similar to the effect of magnets on electrons. The advance could yield a new class of nanoscale applications that use light instead of electricity.
