Nikola Tesla wasn’t just a genius inventor; he was a mystery wrapped in brilliance. While his innovations in electricity and electromagnetism changed the world, his life was filled with bizarre ...

It allows describing richer and more varied situations. This shows that, in theory, electromagnetism can be explained solely from the geometry of spacetime—just as Einstein had done for gravity.

Distant suns provide the most precise test of electromagnetism yet A new study of ‘solar twins’ shows a fundamental constant appears to be the same throughout our local galactic neighborhood.

Throughout the 19th century, a series of discoveries illuminated the nature of light. Learn how these scientists contributed to electromagnetism.

Echoes of Electromagnetism Found in Number Theory A new magnum opus posits the existence of a hidden mathematical link akin to the connection between electricity and magnetism.

Our theory of electromagnetism is arguably the best physical theory humans have ever made — but it has no answer for why electromagnetism is as strong as it is.

Physics We may be about to solve the greatest riddle of electromagnetism Physicists have long wondered why particles can only have an electric charge of +1, -2 or any whole number.

Originating from Earth’s core and atoms themselves, magnetism is the invisible force that shapes our everyday lives. Here’s how magnets actually work.
