Electrons in magnetic field exhibit unique behaviors, shaping quantum materials. Light, composed of neutral particles, doesn't react similarly. Limiting researchers in replicating effects in optical systems for modern communications., In this article, an innovative approach for magnetic data communication is presented. For this purpose, the receiver coil of a conventional magneto-inductive communication system is replaced by a high-sensitivity wideband magnetic field sensor., In a study appearing today in Nature, the researchers report using a terahertz laser — a light source that oscillates more than a trillion times per second — to directly stimulate atoms in an antiferromagnetic material., Vertical integration of magnetic-enhanced batteries with actuators and electronics enables embodied intelligence in soft robots., Designed to flexibly route and split light on a chip, synthetic magnetic fields in silicon photonic crystals demonstrate high-speed data transmission, opening new possibilities for optical communicati, .
