Scientists uncover new way to control magnetism and topology using light in atomically thin materials
Researchers have discovered a method of controlling magnetism and electronic properties in extremely thin materials using light. This breakthrough could lead to the development of more efficient electronic devices that use less energy. The new technology has potential applications for future electronics.
Why it's good news: It could pave the way for the creation of more energy-efficient electronics, reducing waste heat and minimizing power consumption.
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology. We surface discoveries that expand what humanity can do, from new treatments reaching clinical trials to engineering feats that seemed impossible a decade ago.
