We'll talk about three big ideas: electric potential difference (voltage), electric current, and electric field. Yes, they are all related, and I will show you how with some water and an LED.

If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even ...

Visualizing spatial distribution of electric properties at microscales with liquid crystal droplets The droplets show rotational and translational behaviors under an applied voltage, enabling the ...

The increasing sophistication of high-voltage systems demands a comprehensive understanding of electric field effects and robust strategies for radiation protection. The interplay of intense ...

In the Supplementary Methods, we show that the exponent in equation (1) scales approximately linearly with the voltage, assuming that the perpendicular anisotropy scales linearly with voltage ...

In lab-based experiments, scientists mimicked conditions in the mantle — the layer just beneath Earth's crust — and found that diamonds grew only when exposed to an electric field, even a weak ...
