The film discusses the historical development and principles of electrodynamics, starting with Luigi Galvani's chance discovery of electric current through the twitching of a frog's leg. It explains ...

Magnetic skyrmions – quasiparticles with a vortex-like structure – show much promise as storage bits for next-generation computer memories and logic devices, but tracking their motion is no easy task.

Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help humans generate electricity for practical purposes. He concluded that ...

Albert Fert, French physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2007, is one of the discoverers of giant magnetoresistance, a physical effect that revolutionised hard disk technology, ...
