Magnetar Observations Point to Long-Sought Quantum Effect in Empty Space
Key Takeaways
- Researchers used the magnetar 1E 1547.0–5408 to look for a long-predicted quantum effect.
- The observations are described as possible first evidence of vacuum birefringence.
- The finding would show that empty space can change light under extreme magnetic fields.
