It's time for another physics example. In this case, I am going to calculate the electric field due to an electric charged rod. Of course you could do this analytically using a bit of calculus. This ...

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 ...

Superconductivity is a phenomenon where certain materials can conduct electricity with zero resistance. Obviously, this has enormous technological advantages, which makes superconductivity one of the ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that it is possible to control the spin of a single electron by using an electric field rather than a magnetic field, as is usually the case. The breakthrough ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

The "circuit" metaphor of the brain is as indisputable as it is familiar: Neurons forge direct physical connections to create functional networks, for instance to store memories or produce thoughts.
