The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s ...

Modern civilization relies on water's incompressibility--it's something we take for granted. Hydraulic systems harness the virtual non-compressibility of fluids like water or oil to multiply ...

Could decades of magnetospheric theory have been looking at Earth’s electric heart the wrong way around? The answer, in new ...

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 ...

Physicists in France, Germany and the UK claim to be the first to control the polarization of a spin current by applying an electric field across an insulator. The technique requires much less energy ...

Ferroelectric materials are used in infrared cameras, medical ultrasounds, computer memory and actuators that turn electric properties into mechanical properties and vice-versa. Most of these ...

It turns out that sharks (and some other fish) can detect electric fields. This sixth sense is called electroreception. I don't know much about sharks (well, I think they're cool), but I do know ...

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 ...
