A self-taught scientist, Michael Faraday (1791-1867) excelled in chemistry and physics to become one of the most influential thinkers in history. He’s been called the "father of electricity," (Nikola ...

More than 105 years after his death, the Royal Institution has finally paid tribute to Michael Faraday. Earlier this week the Queen, the Royal Institution’s patron, opened a museum, an archive room ...

Faraday’s law of induction is a topic that students may remember from high school, but it’s rare to see an impressive application of the theory. The science video blog Veritasium travelled to the ...

A top-down view of an off-center heavy-ion collision. The rapid decay of an ultra-strong magnetic field (B) induces an electric current through Faraday induction, influencing the trajectory of charged ...
