The mathematical physics underpinning electromagnetic fields and wave equations provides a rigorous framework for understanding the behaviour of electric and magnetic phenomena in both classical and ...

At just 500 kilometers across, Saturn's sixth-largest moon would fit comfortably inside the United Kingdom, with room to spare.

Pyramid power: radio waves incident from above are focussed to a region below the pyramid (shown in red). Also in red are the waves concentrated in the rectangular King's Chamber within the pyramid.

Enceladus, one of Saturn’s smallest moons, has long fascinated scientists with its icy surface and mysterious geysers.

A team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has developed innovative methods to enhance frequency conversion of terahertz (THz) waves in graphene-based structures, unlocking new potential for ...

With engineered microstructures, metamaterials enhance stealth capabilities, enabling advanced wave manipulation for improved military platform invisibility.

Physics fans are a lot like surfers. Both think waves are really fun. For surfers, it’s all about having a good time. For physicists, it’s about understanding some of nature’s most important physical ...

For weeks now, social media has been buzzing with claims that Earth’s “heartbeat” is surging, and that those spikes are ...

On October 3, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded physicists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish the Nobel Prize in physics for directly detecting gravitational waves—wrinkles in ...
