A ring or sphere could, apparently, be stable if surrounded by the right sizes and gravities of other stars.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was the Einstein and the Newton of 19th century science. Maxwell's name is well known by every modern physicist and physics student. Maxwell's equations provide the ...

Central to this debate is the paradox of “Maxwell’s Demon,” a thought experiment proposed by physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1867,” the study authors note. According to the second law of ...

These observations, first made by Philipp Lenard in 1902, gave a startling twist to the story! The mystery was finally resolved by Albert Einstein in 1905, while working as a clerk in the Swiss Patent ...

Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell may not be very well known, but lots of the technology we use today depends on his ideas. Maxwell invented colour photography (1861). He took photos using ...

Lawrence Horowitz, emeritus professor of physics at the University of Tel Aviv says ... He further added, "We learned from Einstein that Maxwell's equations were relativistic (i.e., invariant under ...

In 1830, English physicist Michael Faraday confirmed Oersted's theory, and established the principle of electromagnetic induction. In 1864, James Clerk Maxwell, an experimental physics ...

This result is one of the conclusions which Maxwell derived from his theory ... on “The Application of Dynamics to Physics and Chemistry.” This work suggests a number of general methods ...

Patryk Lipka-Bartosik from Jagiellonian University in Poland. "Inspired by Maxwell's demon, a famous thought experiment in physics, we explored what happens when classical memory is replaced with ...
