Imagine if we could use strong electromagnetic fields to manipulate the local properties of spacetime—this could have important ramifications in terms of science and engineering. Electromagnetism has ...

A magazine news story on the unification of physics usually begins by saying that Einstein’s general theory of relativity and quantum theory are irreconcilable. The one handles the force of gravity, ...

On the face of it, both electricity and magnetism are remarkably similar to gravity. Just as two masses are attracted to each other by an inverse square force, the force between two charged objects or ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism are related. A new study revealed that the magnetic component of light ...

For a long time, scientists have been searching for a single theory that connects all the forces of nature. A new geometric approach revives this idea. Einstein already wanted to unify gravity and ...

How does the imagination work? How can it lead to both reverie and scientific insight? In this book, Kieran M. Murphy sheds new light on these perennial questions by showing how they have been closely ...

Electromagnetism Notes: Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with the study of electric and magnetic fields, their interactions, and their effects on matter. It forms the foundation for ...

Throughout the 19th century, a series of discoveries illuminated the nature of light. Learn how these scientists contributed to electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is everywhere, and humans have ...

A.R.E. Taylor does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...
