About this video

Normally, magnets align in a magnetic field — that’s basic physics.
But some materials, known as ferroaxial materials, stay completely still. Their atoms act like millions of tiny electric whirlpools, unaffected by any field we know of.

Now, a team from the Max Planck Institute has used circularly polarized laser pulses — beams of light that swirl like microscopic tornadoes — to flip these atomic whirlpools!
This breakthrough could lead to super-stable, low-energy data storage, where information is written not with electricity, but with light itself. 💡

Currently, it only works at –70 °C and needs a giant laser setup, but it’s a glimpse into the future of light-powered memory devices.
