By aligning nanowires upright with an AC field before optical trapping, a hybrid method halves the laser power needed and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the National Graphene Institute have made a discovery that could revolutionize energy harnessing and information computing. Their study, published in Nature, reveals how electric field ...

Traditional electrotaxis assays place electrodes directly into the cell culture medium, which inevitably drives current through the sample.

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 ...

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 ...

Tumor treating fields (TTF) therapy is a novel antimitotic, electric field–based treatment for cancer. This nonchemical, nonablative treatment is unlike any of the established cancer treatment ...
