Adjunct Senior Research Fellow , School of Mathematical Sciences, Monash University It’s hard to imagine life without mobile phones, radio and television. Yet the discovery of the electromagnetic ...

Unlock the secrets of Maxwell’s Equations and discover how they govern light and electromagnetism. In this video, we break down each equation, explain the physical meaning behind them, and show how ...

There are two fundamental classes of theories required to describe the entirety of the Universe. On the one hand, there's quantum field theory, which describes electromagnetism and the nuclear forces, ...

On September 14, 2015, history was made as the NSF's twin LIGO detectors directly observed humanity's first gravitational wave. From over a billion light-years away, two black holes of 36 and 29 solar ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

The universe has a speed limit, and it's the speed of light. Nothing can travel faster than light — not even our best spacecraft — according to the laws of physics. So, what is the speed of light?

Ever since Democritus – a Greek philosopher who lived between the 5th and 4th century's BCE – argued that all of existence was made up of tiny indivisible atoms, scientists have been speculating as to ...

Scientists on an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider see massive W particles emerging from collisions with electromagnetic fields. How can this happen? The Large Hadron Collider plays with Albert ...

Metasurfaces featuring tailored silver nanocubes could allow thermal photodetectors to approach speeds akin to traditional ...

A new chip uses light instead of electricity to run AI calculations. It processes data very fast and may reduce the power needed for AI systems.
