Scientists have developed a sensor for measuring the strength of electric fields, which is much smaller, simpler and less prone to distortion than comparable devices.

Low-intensity electric fields can disrupt the division of cancer cells and slow the growth of brain tumors, suggest laboratory experiments and a small human trial, raising hopes that electric ...

UC Davis researchers used eyes from mice with diabetes to look at the role of electric fields in wound healing. Weaker electric fields were linked with slower healing of damage to the cornea. Slow ...

There’s a magnetic field and you need to measure its strength. But how? Here are some options. Magnetic Compass Back when I was a kid, we had these things called compasses. It’s just a ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to ...

Worms jumped at an average speed of .86 meters per second (close to a human’s walking speed), which increased with electric field intensity.

Earlier this year, engineers at ClearSign Combustion demonstrated how a high-voltage electric field can control the shape and intensity of a flame while using only a small amount of power: less ...

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 ...
