Scientists from the (MPSD) and MIT have achieved a groundbreaking feat — creating a stable, long-lasting magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material using only light. This discovery could lead to ...

Researchers at MIT have successfully induced a durable magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material using terahertz light.

MIT physicists have discovered a new magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material using terahertz light, opening doors to ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

Physicists in the US, Europe and Korea have produced a long-lasting light-driven magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material for the first time. While their project started out as a fundamental ...

Chirality is the property of an object that makes it different from its mirror image, like our left and right hands. In ...

Terahertz (THz): A frequency range in the electromagnetic spectrum that lies between microwaves and infrared light, typically from 0.1 to 10 THz. Metamaterials: Artificial materials engineered to ...

The research team, led by Andrea Cavalleri, used terahertz light to lift this balance in the non-chiral material boron phosphate (BPO 4), in this way inducing finite chirality on an ultrafast time ...
