Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday's illustrated notes that show how radical scientist began his theories at London's Royal Institution to go online

The shift to electric vehicles is exciting, but it will leave us with thousands of tonnes of spent batteries.

A collaboration between research groups from ICIQ demonstrate how the presence of an external magnetic field alters the reaction mechanism of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction.

No less than 14 Nobel laureates have conducted ground-breaking research at the Institution.

World's first-ever fuel-free electromagnetic generator, unveiled by South Korea's SEMP Research Institute.

Physicists from the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) have been conducting research on the matter constituting the atomic nucleus utilizing the world's three most powerful particle accelerators. Their focus has been on mapping the "primordial soup" that filled the universe in the first millionth of a second following its inception.

Scientists made fundamental discoveries in nanoparticles once considered too tiny to make.

Let me share a little theory I have about optimism, and why progress is so easy to underestimate.

Nature has learnt that the periodic table, as well as evolution, won't be taught to under-16s as they start the new school year.

The United Kingdom should host a new Great Exhibition to showcase the importance of innovation and inspire the next generation of inventors.

Many myths and misconceptions exist about electricity. Here, we clear them up.

The question is only interesting if it took an abnormally long time. Here's my model for this

Recite this induction motor tutorial and savor it; even if poetry really isn't your favorite.

As people begin to return to flying, we look at one potential long-term fix for cutting aviation emissions: battery-powered planes

Magnetic fields are the essential, but often "secret" ingredients of the interstellar medium and the process of making stars. The secrecy shrouding interstellar magnetic fields can be attributed to the lack of experimental probes.

Inventors vs. bureaucrats during the age of sail

A groundbreaking experiment created a field so strong, it could dwarf a neutron star's grip.

In an era where information is passed seamlessly across multiple platforms without the restraint of physical wires, it is crucial to understand the foundation of wireless technology. This rudimentary comprehension should involve exploring the fundamental concept of this technology and assessing...

Have you ever wondered how different some fundamental force fields, like gravity and magenetism, really are from each other? I wanted to elucidate the provenance of these basic physics principles. To help me with that, I asked ChatGPT4 to provide a conversation between 19th century physicists. Then I started to troll them. Me: Does gravity curve space? Yes, according to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity,…
