Chinese boffins have emerged from their smoke filled labs having invented some photonic witchcraft that could drive comms gear faster. Electrons in a magnetic field can pull off neat tricks like ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like this.
