That means that all electric charges have an electric field (we use the symbol E). Since the electric force depends on the value of the charge (Q) (and not the mass), the electric field is the ...

Transistors are fundamental to microchips and modern electronics. Invented by Bardeen and Brattain in 1947, their development ...

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 ...

You can even measure the gravitational field without too much difficulty. But what about electric fields? How do you measure those? It's not as simple, but there is something you can do.

Controlling magnetic properties by an electric field would enable new data storage technologies operating at low electrical power 1,2. Successful strategies have made use of voltage‐controlled ...

A new study shows that the Earth’s electric field can propel these flying spiders too. The study, published Thursday in the journal Current Biology, found that when spiders are in a chamber with ...
