Taking Maxwell’s equations for a spin
John Clerk Maxwell developed his famous Maxwell Equations whilst working at King’s College London in the late 19th Century. The Maxwell Equations are four equations which link the fundamental behaviour of electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic fields and waves,...

The humble light bulb proves a source of transverse spin
Almost a hundred years on from its first proposal, a number of questions remain around what spin is. While understood to be a basic property characterizing and distinguishing fundamental particles just as charge or mass do, it is still not clear what exactly spin...
