A recent research article backed by Cheyney Design and Development, a leader in X-ray inspection and imaging technologies, ...

But 150 years ago Maxwell’s theory was utterly revolutionary in both style and content. Einstein was an early champion of the theory, which helped inspire his relativity theory, and today, the idea of ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

More than one hundred and fifty years have passed since the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" (1865). What would our lives be without this ...

The first unification of forces was accomplished in the 1670s with Newton's theory of universal gravity. The second was in the 1870s with Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism.

Radio waves, microwaves and even light itself are all made of electric and magnetic fields. The classical theory of electromagnetism was completed in the 1860s by James Clerk Maxwell. At the time ...

This article was originally published with the title “Explanation of the Maxwell Electromagnetic Theory of Light” in SA Supplements Vol. 21 No. 538supp (April 1886), p. 8591 doi:10.1038 ...

This is the first of a three-part series examining the history, science and implications of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

Clothing electrical phenomena in mathematical language, Maxwell discovered electromagnetic waves by inventing them out of his own head. He then correlated electromagnetic waves and light waves.
