In 1862, James Clerk Maxwell published his famous Maxwell’s equations. This was at a time when humans were just starting to play around with batteries and electric currents. The first two of these ...

Controlling magnetism in a device is not easy; unusually large magnetic fields or lots of electricity are needed, which are ...

S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

When an electric current passes through a metal wire, a magnetic field forms around that wire (see diagram at right). Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current ...

Spintronics, an emerging field of technology, exploits the spin of electrons rather than their charge to process and store ...

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, ...

For over half a century, scientists suspected a quiet but powerful electric field might be influencing Earth’s upper ...

In a radiation protection study commissioned by the German government, all electric cars analysed complied with the ...

A comprehensive study has examined the magnetic field emissions (MFE) from vehicle-mounted wireless power transfer (WPT) ...

The evolution of industrial heating technologies has followed a fascinating path—from primitive open flames to complex magnetic fields. Today, induction heating stands at the forefront, offering ...

How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer drives a current (big red arrows) through the plasma column. This generates a poloidal magnetic field that bends the plasma current ...
