Quantum breakthrough links light and magnetism in atomically thin materials


A new review highlights exciting progress in atomically thin quantum materials where light and magnetism work together in ways never before possible. In these materials, light-generated excitons can interact directly with magnetic behavior, creating opportunities to control magnetic states using light alone. Scientists believe this could pave the way for advanced optical memory, quantum devices, and ultra-efficient photonic technologies.
