We'll talk about three big ideas: electric potential difference (voltage), electric current, and electric field. Yes, they are all related, and I will show you how with some water and an LED.

NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles.

Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials ...

This is a significant benefit, since electric dipole moments can be oriented using electric fields, which are much easier to control than the magnetic fields required to switch the magnetization of ...

The disintegration of drops in strong electric fields is believed to play an important part in the formation of thunderstorms, at least in those parts of them where no ice crystals are present.

Fish, sharks and platypuses are adept at sensing electrical signals living things give off. Bottlenosed dolphins make that list too, studies suggests.

Flowers generate weak electric fields, and a new study shows that bumblebees can actually sense those electric fields using the tiny hairs on their fuzzy little bodies. "The bumblebees can feel ...
