Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the ...

Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron ...

A static electric field can be used to manipulate the superconducting state of metallic superconducting thin films, according to new experiments by researchers in Italy. The effect, which was first ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or ...

This discussion from Reddit explores solving physics homework problems involving the calculation of the Electric Field and Electric Potential. It highlights effective problem-solving strategies, key ...

Electrifying: a bumble-bee's tiny hairs detect electric fields. (Courtesy: G P Sutton et al.) The bumble-bee uses its distinctive yellow-and-black fuzz to sense weak electric fields. This is the ...

A tiny engine comprised of a glass bead zapped with electric fields behaves as if it is operating 2000 times hotter than the ...

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...
