By studying how worms use electric charge to jump onto flies, scientists are showing even physical strategies are embedded in ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully measured electric fields near the surfaces of two-dimensional layered ...

We all know that sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell are the five human senses, but really they’re just the beginning. There are things like proprioception, the sense of orienting your body in space ...

I hope that you are never in a situation in which you are in danger from a downed, but live, power line. However, if that ever happens, the recommended safety procedure is to move away with tiny, ...

Flowers generate weak electric fields, and a new study shows that bumblebees can actually sense those electric fields using the tiny hairs on their fuzzy little bodies. "The bumblebees can feel that ...

The charge-carrier density—or equivalently, the Fermi energy—strongly controls phase transitions in correlated systems. Traditionally, charge-carrier density can be controlled by doping, that is, by ...

A new low-power technique for detecting the spin of electrons in a non-magnetic system could aid the development of spintronics devices that work using ferroelectricity rather than ferromagnetism.
