Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

This discussion from Reddit explores solving physics homework problems involving the calculation of the Electric Field and Electric Potential. It highlights effective problem-solving strategies, key ...

I hope that you are never in a situation in which you are in danger from a downed, but live, power line. However, if that ever happens, the recommended safety procedure is to move away with tiny, ...

electricity that lights up a bulb looks very different than lightning strikes but they're actually more similar than one might think because they both have electric current so let's understand what ...

Scientists today track electrical signals and voltage changes in neurons and muscle cells by labeling individual cells or probing with electrodes. Scientists have now developed a new type of sensor ...
