Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

The photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) is an intriguing optical phenomenon in which the spin–orbit interaction of light gives rise to a transverse splitting of photon beams according to their circular ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...

While TMR works differently, it's a similar concept to Hall effect devices. When you move a TMR joystick, it moves a magnet ...
