Sunlight’s hidden electric field linked to faster water evaporation
Water has always responded well to sunlight, evaporating faster under the sun than when heated by other energy sources. For years, scientists knew this happened but didn’t fully understand why. Now, a ...
To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...
A nematode (C. elegans) jumps onto a bumblebee along an electrical field to hitch a ride. Credit: Chiba et al., 2023 Japanese scientists working with nematodes (C. elegans) noticed one day that ...
Dolly and Donna, two dolphins at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, appear to be able to sense electric fields — an ability that might help them detect prey buried in sand or enhance their navigation. All ...
Rare earth elements used in smartphones and electric vehicles could be extracted from the ground more sustainably using electric fields. Today, most rare earth metals used in electronics are mined by ...
