There are many theories about the how magnetic field clears the light-nanoparticle interaction mechanisms. All of them depend on the light electric field.
Two days ago, physicists from FOM institute AMOLF have for the first time simultaneously measured the electrical and magnetic fields of light. With such a measurement scientists can understand the behaviour of light in nanostructured metamaterials better – for example the material from which invisibility cloaks can be made. The AMOLF researchers published their findings on 15 December 2013 in Nature Photonics.
Attached is the paper link.
What is your opinion about their experiment ?
