Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy ...

As we learn more about electricity, we have to talk about fields. As we learn more about electricity, we have to talk about fields. Electric fields may seem complicated, but they're really fascinating ...

In spaces smaller than a wavelength of light, electric currents jump from point to point and magnetic fields corkscrew through atomic lattices in ways that defy intuition. Scientists have only ever ...

Scientists have managed to use electrical fields to control the magnetic oscillations of certain ferrous materials. This has opened up huge potential for computer technology applications, as data is ...

A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the Center of New Technologies, ...

Low-intensity electric fields can disrupt the division of cancer cells and slow the growth of brain tumors, suggest laboratory experiments and a small human trial, raising hopes that electric fields ...

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

A new method using a combination of strong and weak electric fields to change nanoparticle speed and direction could improve ...

Electrifying: a bumble-bee's tiny hairs detect electric fields. (Courtesy: G P Sutton et al.) The bumble-bee uses its distinctive yellow-and-black fuzz to sense weak electric fields. This is the ...

It turns out that sharks (and some other fish) can detect electric fields. This sixth sense is called electroreception. I don't know much about sharks (well, I think they're cool), but I do know ...
