For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...
Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...
NEW YORK, March 13, 2023 — When we look in a mirror, we are used to seeing our faces looking back at us. The reflected images are produced by electromagnetic light waves bouncing off of the mirrored ...
Magnets, how do they work? Although the quantum mechanics behind ferromagnetism are by no means easy, a few simple experiments can give you a good grasp of how magnets attract and repel each other, ...

The giant electromagnet that drew big crowds as it lumbered its way to Fermilab in Batavia in 2013 is now up and running. The Muon g-2 experiment that the electromagnet is part of has begun its search ...
