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 ...

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 ...

New understanding of the nature of electromagnetism could lead to antennas small enough to fit on computer chips -- the 'last frontier' of semiconductor design -- and could help identify the points ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ah, magnets. Refrigerators are full of ’em. They power our Netflix binge-sessions. When broken down into tiny pieces and smashed into Silly Putty, they can provide hours of fun. But how do magnets ...
