An MIT-led team has found that data from “near-misses” at the Large Hadron Collider, long dismissed as background noise, can ...

A structured overview of core concepts in Electrodynamics designed to help students understand key principles needed for ...

The optical properties of metallic nanoparticles with nanometre dimensions exhibit features that cannot be described by classical electrodynamics. In this quantum size regime, the near-field ...

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is described. Electromagnetism: The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is described. Students learn to apply right-hand rules to straight ...

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 ...

On the big screen, in video games and in our imaginations, lightsabers flare and catch when they clash together. In reality, as in a laser light show, the beams of light go through each other, ...

Michael Murphy receives funding from the Australian Research Council. There’s an awkward, irksome problem with our understanding of nature’s laws which physicists have been trying to explain for ...

Modern physics and engineering are based on electromagnetism, which controls the interaction of electric currents, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic forces. Every undergraduate student studying ...
