NASA has detected a planet-wide electric field surrounding Earth for the first time ever. The field, known as the ambipolar electric field, was discovered by NASA's suborbital Endurance rocket ...

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 ...

Dr. Barriga and colleagues found that cells of the neural crest are directed by internal electric fields during development, much like drivers follow the signals of a traffic warden. The group ...

How an applied electric field for medical electrotherapy speeds wound healing. Creation of the self-powered, non-electronic electrotherapy patch. Results of the electrical and medical performance ...

Their study, published in Nature, reveals how electric field effects can selectively accelerate coupled electrochemical processes in graphene. Electrochemical processes are essential in renewable ...
