“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

QUANTUM theory originated in the work of Prof. Max Planck of Berlin in the year 1900. It is significant that the new theory arose out of a discrepancy between theory and experiment in a somewhat ...

The modern theory, which is now the prevailing one, supposes that the negatively charged particle has the greatest motion, and that there are not equal quantities of positive and negative electricity ...

THE idea that the sun sends out a large amount of Becquerel rays has found considerable support in the scientific world, and has been used to explain a number of difficulties connected with cosmical ...

A new class of ceramics are not only transparent, but they can control light with exceptional efficiency—better than any ...

Scientific American is the authority on science and technology for a general audience, with coverage that explains how research changes our understanding of the world and shapes our lives. First ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

The concept of the electric field being null inside of a closed conducting surface was first illustrated by Michael Faraday in 19th century who also considered as a physicist who endorsed the field ...

In a strange metal (translucent box), electrons (blue marbles) lose their individuality and melt into a featureless, liquid-like stream. We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving ...

As we said last month, electrical theory underlies everything we do in the electrical construction business. It is therefore necessary to review this theory regularly. We continue now with Ohm's Law.

The basic argument in favour of the privatisation of electricity generation and distribution is simple — public ownership allows too much bargaining power to electricity workers and their unions ...
