When an electric current passes through some materials, it generates a voltage perpendicular to the direction in which the ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

In a breakthrough experiment, researchers from Harvard and King’s College London have created a convincing imitation of the ...

A long-elusive, hypothetical subatomic particle called the axion can be simulated and potentially detected in a type of thin material.

In 1862, James Clerk Maxwell published his famous Maxwell’s equations. This was at a time when humans were just starting to ...

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric fields ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of an oil-based ferrofluid layer subjected to oscillating magnetic fields on the shielding effectiveness (SE) of the electromagnetic wave (EMW) within 12.4 ...

Is a sustainable toothbrush too much to ask for? These days, I feel like most of the best electric toothbrushes are a logistical nightmare. I want a great toothbrush that cleans my teeth well ...

“This discovery of a New Force is fundamental in that electric fields alone can generate a sustainable force onto an object and allow center-of-mass translation of said object without expelling ...

For over half a century, scientists suspected a quiet but powerful electric field might be influencing Earth’s upper atmosphere. Now, thanks to a daring rocket mission near the North Pole ...

Observations from a NASA suborbital rocket have enabled an international group of experts to measure a global electric field that surrounds Earth for the first time ever. According to scientists, this ...
