Abstract: We present the basic prerequisites of electromagnetism in flat space–time and provide a description of electromagnetism in terms of the Faraday tensor. We generalize electromagnetic theory ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism ...

NASA has warned that a strong solar flare could disrupt life on Earth. The space agency announced Monday, Dec 1, that the ...

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 ...

As a university student in Xi’an, China, in the late 1970s, Guo loved listening to the Voice of America, a radio program that connected him with the world. “That was a great way to learn English,” ...

In the summer of 1752, Benjamin Franklin set out to prove a daring idea: that lightning was simply a gigantic spark of electricity. He attached a metal key to the string of a kite and flew it into a ...

Abstract: In electromagnetism, the model of Maxwell’s equations yields accurate and trustworthy predictions. Numerical solvers can reach electromagnetic solutions far beyond the set of analytical ...

Every action in our world is powered by a "force of nature." Currently, there are four main forces that scientists cling to; gravity, electromagnetism, weak interaction, and strong interaction. The ...

Physicists have set a new upper bound on the interaction strength of dark matter by simulating the collision of two clouds of interstellar plasma. The result, from researchers at Ruhr University ...

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 ...
