Multipole theory of linear constitutive relations for the response fields D and H in dielectrics is incomplete in the sense that it yields unphysical (for example, origin-dependent) results when taken ...

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate why matter prevails over antimatter. This knot hypothesis, originally ...

Dr.-Ing. Thomas Flisgen has been appointed as Professor of Electromagnetic Field Theory at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) starting in the winter semester of 2024/25 ...

Electromagnetic scattering and beam theory form the bedrock of modern optics by elucidating the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter. This field encompasses the study of how various ...

On April 3, 1846, Charles Wheatstone was about to present the Friday evening lecture at London’s Royal Institution. He had been invited by Michael Faraday, who had long been conducting research there ...

The recent confirmation of gravity waves observed by the LIGO project represents a huge breakthrough in physics, verifying Albert Einstein's predictions regarding the effect of mass on space and time ...

Electromagnetic energy in the brain enables brain matter to create our consciousness and our ability to be aware and think, according to a new theory developed by Professor Johnjoe McFadden from the ...

What is a quantum field and how does it interact with matter? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the ...
