Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) examines the fusion of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, moving beyond classical theories ...

Using a newly developed technique, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg have measured the very small difference in the magnetic properties of two isotopes of ...

Electrostatics and electrodynamics together describe the behaviour of electric charges, fields and their interaction with matter over both static and time‐varying regimes. In electrostatics, ...

An international collaboration of researchers, including the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) has succeeded in a proof-of-principle experiment to verify ...

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

The fundamental laws of physics are based on symmetries that, among other things, determine the interactions between charged particles. Using ultracold atoms, researchers have experimentally ...
