“An exciton is not just a passive light-driven excitation sitting on top of the magnetism. It can sense the spin order and magnons, and under the right conditions, even help control the magnetic state itself.”

Adak explains how excitons can interact with and potentially control magnetic states in van der Waals magnetic materials.

“In these materials, light and magnetism no longer operate as separate channels,”

Adak is describing how van der Waals magnetic semiconductors allow light and magnetism to interact directly within the same crystal.
