Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s magnetosphere is charged opposite to what was once believed. The area of space influenced by Earth’s magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. Within this ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you wanted to answer the question of what's truly fundamental in ...

Today it was revealed that James Clerk Maxwell’s electric field theory is all wrong! Maxwell had stated, “Before I began the study of electricity I resolved to read no mathematics on the subject until ...

FROM time to time theories of the aurora have been proposed which invoke locally developed electric fields as the mechanism causing acceleration of solar particles into the relatively low levels of ...

A pair of mathematicians have proposed a unified theory of dark matter and dark energy that alters Einstein's equations describing the fundamentals of gravity. They suggest the law of energy and ...

I hope that you are never in a situation in which you are in danger from a downed, but live, power line. However, if that ever happens, the recommended safety procedure is to move away with tiny, ...

Many theories attempt to explain consciousness, but one that’s gaining traction is the idea of electromagnetic (EM) fields—specifically, ephaptic fields—coordinating consciousness in the brain. A new ...

Using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) simulations, they showed that when a single layer of the semiconductor ...

Tumor treating fields (TTF) therapy is a novel antimitotic, electric field–based treatment for cancer. This nonchemical, nonablative treatment is unlike any of the established cancer treatment ...
