Albert Einstein shook up physics by proposing that light wasn’t just a wave, but it could also behave like a collection of ...

Probably you are correct, because with any physical theory there is freedom to define what is fundamental and what is derived ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have discovered a novel approach to detecting the quantum ...

But the theory of Hertz was opposed to the fundamental experiment of Fizeau on the propagation of light in flowing liquids. The most obvious extension of Maxwell's theory to the case of moving ...

Maxwell's equations provide the unifying basis for electromagnetism and light, and he also made fundamental contributions to statistical thermodynamics (the Maxwellian distribution, etc.) and the ...

Pp. 16). Among the important effects of Maxwell's theory may be noted the downfall of mechanism for the second time in history. The first non-mechanical theory was the undulatory theory of light ...

To explore this phenomenon further, the researchers developed a mathematical model for a "demonic engine," a system powered by Maxwell's demon. Their approach is rooted in the theory of quantum ...

In 1830, English physicist Michael Faraday confirmed Oersted's theory, and established the principle of electromagnetic induction. In 1864, James Clerk Maxwell, an experimental physics ...

In the 1860s, the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell succeeded in melding electricity and magnetism into one unified theory of electromagnetism. But his equations turned up a surprise.
