In a study published in Nature Communications, physicists at the University of Southampton tested and proved a 50-year-old theory for the first time using electro-magnetic waves. The researchers ...

Physicists have finally turned a long standing thought experiment into a laboratory reality, showing that electromagnetic waves can be reflected in time as cleanly as light bounces off a mirror in ...

Magnets, how do they work? Although the quantum mechanics behind ferromagnetism are by no means easy, a few simple experiments can give you a good grasp of how magnets attract and repel each other, ...

Did you know you can create a magnetic field with a few simple items? For this experiment, you'll need copper wire, one battery, an iron nail and some paper clips or small washes. Follow along with ...
