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 known ...

This animation shows how the ambipolar electric field works. The most abundant gas in the lower atmosphere, the part we live in, is nitrogen (N2, shown around seven seconds).

Dolly and Donna, two dolphins at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, appear to be able to sense electric fields — an ability that might help them detect prey buried in sand or enhance their navigation.

Scientists found that dolphins have an ability to sense electric fields, which may help them hunt and navigate the seas. By Carolyn Wilke Newborn bottlenose dolphins sport a row of hairs along the ...

The tiniest hitchhikers: Nematodes leap onto bumblebees via electric fields Worms lept at an average speed of 0.86 meters per second, close to human walking speed.
