Scientists are investigating how structures made from several layers of graphene stack up in terms of their fundamental physics and their potential as reconfigurable semiconductors for advanced ...

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 ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics ...

Scientists have unlocked a way to read magnetic orientation at record-breaking speeds using terahertz radiation. Modern hard ...

With today's data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow.

New research from materials scientist Chris Van de Walle illuminates the path to superior electro-optic performance in ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation, which relates to edge and screw dislocations in crystal lattices, can be recast in the same form as a basic mathematical formula that governs ...

The film explores the fundamental principles of electricity, explaining the structure of atoms and the behavior of electrons.

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions ...

The film discusses the historical development and principles of electrodynamics, starting with Luigi Galvani's chance ...

Ferroelectrics demonstrate a switchable electric polarization when an electric field is applied. Multiferroics exhibit a similar ‘ferroic’ behaviour in two or more of their (usually electric ...
