A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how ...

A newly discovered mechanism known as microtube implosion could make it possible to generate magnetic fields 1000 times stronger than any yet seen in the laboratory. According to the researchers who ...

In Python Physics #26, we dive into electric field calculations for a charged rod. Learn how to compute the electric field at various points along and around the rod using Python simulations, and ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball rolling in ...
