Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a technique that uses a single trapped ion ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

3D reconstruction of the electromagnetic field surrounding a magnesium oxide nanocube. The three modes (I, II, III) represent the nanocube’s different energy ...

Master the fundamentals of undergraduate electromagnetics with this concise and accessible textbook, linking theoretical principles to real-world engineering applications. Lightning, nuclear fusion, ...

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.

Science writers Forbes (Imitation of Life) and Mahon (The Man Who Changed Everything) explore the lives of ground-breaking physicists Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell in this work that blends ...
