A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

Physicists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are now testing quantum simulations of these so-called strong-field QED (SFQED) processes, recently translating several processes into the ...

This lesson explains motional electromotive force on a curved track and how motion through a magnetic field can generate voltage. We break down the physics behind the concept and walk through the key ...

An international team has demonstrated a new method for producing the most intense light ...

Explore computational physics with this Electrodynamics Wave Model Python Finite Difference Simulation guide, demonstrating how numerical methods can model electromagnetic wave behavior. This video ...

On the big screen, in video games and in our imaginations, lightsabers flare and catch when they clash together. In reality, as in a laser light show, the beams of light go through each other, ...

There’s an awkward, irksome problem with our understanding of nature’s laws which physicists have been trying to explain for decades. It’s about electromagnetism, the law of how atoms and light ...

Physicists have developed the most sensitive method ever for measuring the potential energy of an atom (within a hundredth of a decillionth of a joule -- or 10-35 joule), and used it to validate one ...
