Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Maxwell's fundamental equations generally accurately describe the electromagnetic field, and although they are not always used properly, they have the potential to reduce environmental pollution, drive economic progress, and contribute to societal advancement during an energy transition. Moreover, they continue to inspire new and innovative applications across various fields.

The following are only several of the major topics that this Special Issue plans to cover:

  • Physics of plasma thrusters (efficiency, instabilities, erosion, power requirements);
  • Electromagnetic propulsion systems (for deep space exploration, hyperloop, electromagnetic harpoons, magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters, pulsed plasma thrusters);
  • Measurement, instrumentation and sensors of electromagnetic energy (magnetometers, including acoustic communication and satellite communication);
  • Novel power systems (wireless power transmission, linear alternators, air-core generator, magneto strictive generators, magneto hydrodynamic generators, and thermoacoustic generators);
  • Quantum vacuum energy transfers to use for propulsion (Casimir Effect, EmDrive, Q thruster);
  • Advanced modeling approaches using electromagnetic energy (quantum electrodynamics, electromagnetic field theory, computational electromagnetics);
  • Novel applications of electromagnetic energy and forces (axial flux motors, electromagnetic shielding, electromagnetic launchers, micromachines);
  • Magnetic levitation, control the flow of fluids, terahertz imaging cloaking devices, ultra-high-speed data transmission;
  • Applications of novel materials to generate and control electromagnetic fields: superconductors, metamaterials, ferrofluids, magnetic shape-memory alloys, photonic crystals, magnetostriction.

This Issue aims to provide a forum for academic and professional researchers, developers, and producers to share cutting-edge findings and advance the application of electromagnetic energy systems.

This investigation introduces a new variational approach to refining Poisson’s equation, enabling the inclusion of a broader spectrum of physical phenomena, particularly in the emerging fields of spintronics and the analysis of resonant structures. The innovative formulation extends the traditional capabilities of Poisson’s equation, offering a nonlocal extension to classical theories of gravitation and opening new directions for energy conversion and enhanced communication technologies. By introducing a novel geometric structure, ω˜, into the equation, a deeper understanding of electrostatic potentials is achieved, and the intricate dynamics of the gravitational potential in systems characterized by radial vorticity fluctuations are illuminated. Furthermore, the research elucidates the generation of longitudinal electromagnetic waves and resonant phenomena within dusty plasma media, thereby contributing to the methodological advances in the study of nonequilibrium systems. These theoretical advances have the potential to transform the understanding of complex physical systems and open up opportunities for significant technological achievements across a range of scientific sectors.
