From DIY levitation tricks to clever braking systems, these swirling paths of electrons keep finding new ways to surprise and inspire.

[Translated by Dr. Robert W. Lawson.] THERE is something attractive in presenting the evolution of a sequence of ideas in as brief a form as possible, and yet with a completeness sufficient to ...

Improvisation tends to be a lurking possibility in these columns, even if not actively being practised, but for the first New Weird Britain of 2026 it’s the dominant theme. No reason that my conscious ...

In Python Physics #26, we dive into electric field calculations for a charged rod. Learn how to compute the electric field at various points along and around the rod using Python simulations, and ...

In Python Physics #22, we bring electric fields of a point charge to life with interactive Python simulations. Learn how to visualize field lines, understand the direction and magnitude of the ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...

Harnessing the power of the sun holds the promise of providing future societies with energy abundance. To make this a reality, fusion researchers need to address many technological challenges. For ...

Protodisk is one of the rarest and most valuable resources in Arknights Endfield, not only because it’s used to promote every single character on the roster past level 20, but because it’s farmed from ...

Gunmen open fire at soccer field in central Mexico, killing 11 and wounding 12. Thousands of flights canceled as major winter storm moves across the US. Stranded by winter weather Here’s what airlines ...

Abstract: Reconstructing complex physical fields from sparse observations remains a central challenge in science and engineering. Conventional data-driven approaches often depend on large, ...

Abstract: A conformal discretization for magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) based on the characteristic basis function (CBF) using only RWG basis functions is proposed. The proposed method ...
