Of the 91 metals that we know to exist, only three are truly magnetic at room temperature: iron, cobalt and nickel. This poses something of a problem as we have to rely heavily on these elements for ...

Scientists have cracked a century-old physics mystery by detecting magnetic signals in non-magnetic metals using only light and a revamped laser technique. Previously undetectable, these faint ...

Two recent innovative projects that are being enabled by lasers. How lasers make it possible to assess the very subtle magnetism of “non-magnetic” metals. The use of lasers to quantify ...

Many years ago, I overheard an engineer, with whom I had some project contact, make a casual remark about an RF connector situation, asking “what’s the big deal, it’s just a connector?” That statement ...
