Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

Fleeting electron-hole pairs are giving scientists a new window into optimizing light-emitting devices (LEDs). Using quantum ...

An electric charge (like a proton) creates an electric field in the region around it. This field points away from positive charges and decreases in strength as it gets farther away from the charge.

Researchers have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known as magnetoelectrics, which offer ...

Glass embedded with electric-field-driven electrodes removes dust from its surface without water or scrubbing, offering a durable, passive cleaning solution for solar panels and other exposed optical ...

Historically, prior to 1820, electricity and magnetism were thought to be separate entities of nature. On April 21, 1820, ...

Editor’s note: This is part of a series called “The Day Tomorrow Began,” which explores the history of breakthroughs at UChicago. Learn more here. A field experiment is a research method that uses ...

A vlogger did an interesting experiment in a Tesla. He took a device that measures electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) to find out what their level is inside the Tesla when it is left charging. Follow ...
