The idea of electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday. The electrical field force acts between two charges, in the same way that the gravitational field force acts between two masses. The ...

Researchers have recently found a new way to summon useful structures in magnetic materials using light, heat, and electric fields. This new method, described in a new study published in Physical ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

Using observations from a NASA suborbital rocket, an international team of scientists, for the first time, has successfully measured a planet-wide electric field thought to be as fundamental to Earth ...

As a flame changes shape by the millisecond, its heat release and stability are affected. Purdue University researchers have created patent-pending methods to dynamically manipulate a flame — from ...
