A Surprising Discovery: Magnetism in a Common Material for Microelectronics

For the first time, researchers discovered magnetic order at high temperature in a metal widely used by the electronics industry.

Infrared laser light (red beam) illuminates the surface of ZrSiSe and mixes with electron oscillations enabled by an atomic force microscope (silver cone), propagating light as ray-like structures that guide the light through the interior (blue zig-zag).

What If Metals Could Conduct Light?

In the unusual world of quantum materials, metals can guide light in their interiors instead of merely reflecting it.
