While conventional computers store information in the form of bits, fundamental pieces of logic that take a value of either 0 ...

One question, for instance, might be why can't we walk through walls? Atoms, which are the building blocks of matter, are ...

Pushing ions out of the way Now, Urzhumov and Culver have devised a new method of guiding water waves, this time exploiting magnetohydrodynamic forces. This involves the motion of charged particles in ...

Van der Waals nanoribbons carry current “Electromagnetic shielding requires interactions of the EM waves with the charge carriers inside the shielding material so that the EM radiation is either ...

Later in the 1800s, Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism allowed us to derive a form of charge-free radiation: an electromagnetic wave that travels at the speed of light.

The mathematical physics underpinning electromagnetic fields and wave equations provides a rigorous framework for understanding the behaviour of electric and magnetic phenomena in both classical ...

On October 3, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded physicists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish the Nobel Prize in physics for directly detecting gravitational waves—wrinkles ...

That’s what electromagnetic waves are (light, X-rays, microwaves, radio waves), as well as the newly-discovered gravitational waves.
