Explore the history and science of magnetism! From magnetite and compasses to Gilbert's discoveries, Oersted's electromagnetism, & Faraday's demonstrations. Learn about magnetic fields and more.

The classical theory of electromagnetism is entirely revised in this book by proposing a variant of Maxwell equations that allows solitonic solutions (photons). The Lagrangian is the standard one, but ...

In this paper the relationship between field and circuit theory is examined. We exploit the dualism of electromagnetism and orthogonal decompositions of square integrable fields to find a natural ...

As Earth’s magnetic field has risen, so have the conditions that helped complex life to thrive — a discovery that could aid the search for life on distant planets.

Onthe occasion of the 200th Anniversary Ørsted's discovery of the magnetic effects of electric currents, this article summarizes the main stages of the development of electromagnetism before Maxwell, ...

They could generate motion, forces, patterns -- an entirely new branch of physics. That lightning-rod moment became the heart of electrodynamics -- what we now call electromagnetism. And it wasn’t a ...

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field seems to rise and fall hand-in-hand with the abundance of oxygen in its atmosphere, a study of geological records spanning the last half billion years has ...

Herein, we report 2D and 3D MOFs with organic conjugated ligands, 4,4′-dipyridyl and 4,4′-trimethylendipyridyl, and copper chloride as starting materials. We demonstrate a facile approach based on ...
