🧲 Kerr at 150: A Community Mosaic — the deadline is approaching! 🧲
2026 marks 150 years since John Kerr’s discovery of the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) — a milestone that transformed how we image and understand magnetism.
Together with Students in Magnetism (SiM) and INTERMAG 2026, we are building a community mosaic of Kerr images from across the magnetics field: domain walls, skyrmions, thin films, bulk crystals, hysteresis loops, and more.
✨ We warmly encourage you to participate and share one (or more!) Kerr image(s), together with the story behind them: what you imaged, under which conditions, and why it matters. Scientific significance, beautiful patterns, unexpected results, or simply meaningful moments in your research journey — all are welcome.
Let’s “MOKE it count” 😉
📅 Submission deadline: 31 May 2026‼️
⚠️ By submitting, you confirm that you have the right to share the image.
