The polarization of light can be rotated by almost 6° as it passes through a single sheet of graphene in a magnetic field, according to an international team of physicists. This latest property of ...

New mmWave designs bring new challenges and attenuator limitations have sparked renewed interest in Faraday rotation solutions, as Greg Rankin explains. Attenuator limitations have sparked renewed ...

Science, New Series, Vol. 166, No. 3905 (Oct. 31, 1969), pp. 596-598 (3 pages) Pioneer 6, which was launched into orbit around the sun on 16 December 1965, was occulted by the sun in the last half of ...

Physicists in Austria and Germany have taken the Faraday effect to a new extreme by rotating the polarization of light by 45° by passing it through an extremely thin film. This “giant Faraday effect” ...

We experimentally demonstrate an ultra-thin plasmonic optical rotator in the visible regime that induces a polarization rotation that is continuously tunable and switchable by an external magnetic ...

Magnetic fields generate B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) due to Faraday rotation (FR) of the E-mode. Primordial fields, such as those generated in phase transitions in the ...

Despite intensive research, the origin of galactic magnetic fields is still unknown. One assumes, however, that they are built up by dynamo processes in which mechanical energy is converted into ...

A research team led by Prof. GAO Xiaoming at the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently ...

With a unique new all-sky map, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrohysics (MPA) have made significant progress toward measuring the magnetic field structure of the Milky Way in ...

Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C., are part of an international team that has pooled their radio observations into a database, producing the highest-precision map ...
