If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions ...

The public is enamored of images returned to Earth by space probes. Whether they show the moons of Jupiter, the rings of ...

A fundamental goal of physics is to explain the broadest range of phenomena with the fewest underlying principles. Remarkably ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation, which relates to edge and screw dislocations in crystal lattices, can be recast in the same form as a basic mathematical formula that governs ...

How a Generator Works When an electric current flows through a wire, it generates a three-dimensional magnetic force field around the wire, similar to that surrounding a bar magnet. Magnets are ...
