Electrical engineers have determined the theoretical fundamental limit for how much electromagnetic energy a transparent material with a given thickness can absorb. The finding will help engineers ...

The electromagnetic force has gotten a little stronger, gravity a little weaker, and the size of the smallest "quantum" of energy is now known a little better. NIST has posted the latest ...

Introduction to electromagnetic waves in electrical engineering. Topics include: concepts of transmission lines, electrostatics and magnetostatics; Maxwell's equations for time-varying fields; ...

Metamaterials that mimic the order in matters have opened an exciting gateway to reach unprecedented physical properties and functionality unattainable from naturally existing materials. The "atoms" ...

Recent advancements in artificial nanomaterials and structured optical fields have expanded the concept of chiroptical phenomena. However, chiroptical phenomena originate from complicated processes ...

In this portion of our mini-series, we introduce the concept of electromagnetic radiation and explain why Wi-Fi will not kill you. In this portion of our mini-series, we introduce the concept of ...

There's a beautiful, elegant idea that's out there in physics: that everything we see, perceive, and interact with in this Universe is just a different manifestation of the same fundamental force in ...
