You don’t have to know how a car engine works to drive a car — but you can bet all the drivers in the Indy 500 have a better than average understanding of what’s going on under the hood. All of our ...

Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields. So ...

More than one hundred and fifty years have passed since the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" (1865). What would our lives be without this ...

Discontinuous Galerkin methods represent a powerful and flexible class of finite element techniques that have gained prominence in the simulation of wave propagation phenomena governed by the ...

Earlier this week I caught the 6.30 a.m. train from Bristol to London to attend the second day of “Unifying physics and technology in light of Maxwell’s equations” at the Royal Society. It was a ...

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was the Einstein and the Newton of 19th century science. Maxwell's name is well known by every modern physicist and physics student. Maxwell's equations provide the ...

From lodestones and amber to Maxwell's equations and particle annihilation, physics keeps arriving at the same unsettling ...

IN NATURE of February 5, Dr. C. V. Drysdale attempts a simplification of Maxwell's electrodynamic equations, on the grounds that these in their original form are difficult to comprehend and to apply, ...

Born 175 years ago, James Clerk Maxwell carried out the first profound unification of nature’s forces. Francis Everitt examines the immense contributions of the greatest mathematical physicist since ...

Maxwell is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant men ever. His contributions to physics, through studies of electromagnetism and his proposal that light is a wave, are still extremely ...
