Magnetotelluric (MT) data, which contain measurements of electric and magnetic field variations at Earth's surface, provide ...
Could it be that the universe’s first structures were born not from enigmatic inflaton fields, but from the echoes of ancient gravitational waves? In a shocking shift from the conventional picture of ...
If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...
“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as cosmologists are hailing the successes of the Big Bang theory, ...
In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. From a scientific point of view, the 2010s have been a tremendously ...
