Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely small structure by scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of ...

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 ...

Magnetic materials have garnered significant interest due to their wide range of technological applications, from everyday items like refrigerator magnets to complex devices such as electric motors, ...

Flipping ferroelectric polarization reverses bimeron topology in a two-dimensional magnet, allowing voltage pulses alone to write, erase, and invert nanoscale spin structures without current flow.
