Taming mavericks: Researchers use synthetic magnetism to control light

Wednesday, October 31, 2012 - 17:00 in Physics & Chemistry

(Phys.org)—Stanford researchers in physics and engineering 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.
