(Phys.org) -- The laws of classical electromagnetism that were developed in the 19 th century are the same laws that scientists use today. They include Maxwell’s four equations along with the Lorentz ...

The Lithium Lorentz Force Accelerator (LiLFA) as one of the most promising candidates for planetary exploration and heavy payload orbit raising missions. Although initial experimental data on the ...

When currents in wires run parallel, the wires attract due to the magnetic fields from the currents and the Lorentz force. The currents can also be run anti-parallel, making the wires repel. Place the ...

Physicists in Canada have proposed a new way to use lasers to probe ultrafast processes in nuclei. Thomas Brabec and colleagues at the University of Ottawa and the Steacie Institute of Molecular ...

For the study of nanomechanical resonators, ultra-sensitive measurement techniques are crucial. However, if the measurement sensitivity approaches quantum-mechanical limits, the back-action of the ...
