NASA has detected a planet-wide electric field surrounding Earth for the first time ever. The field, known as the ambipolar electric field, was discovered by NASA's suborbital Endurance rocket ...

The new research focuses on the ambipolar electric field which was first theorised over 60 years ago by NASA's suborbital Endurance rocket, with scientists wanting to explore how the planet's ...

Rare earth elements used in smartphones and electric vehicles could be extracted from the ground more sustainably using electric fields. Today, most rare earth metals used in electronics are mined ...

Dr. Barriga and colleagues found that cells of the neural crest are directed by internal electric fields during development, much like drivers follow the signals of a traffic warden. The group ...

The phase and the group velocity of light propagating in conventional optical media cannot exceed the speed of light in vacuum. However, in so-called epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials, light ...

Actually, we still recommend a professional high voltage detector for serious work, but you’ve got to like this electric field detector that [Alessandro] recently put together. The detector ...

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new ...

Their study, published in Nature, reveals how electric field effects can selectively accelerate coupled electrochemical processes in graphene. Electrochemical processes are essential in renewable ...
