As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

Water has always responded well to sunlight, evaporating faster under the sun than when heated by other energy sources. For ...

A static electric field can be used to manipulate the superconducting state of metallic superconducting thin films, according to new experiments by researchers in Italy. The effect, which was first ...

Ice can generate electricity when bent, a process called flexoelectricity. The discovery connects to lightning formation and ...

This discussion from Reddit explores solving physics homework problems involving the calculation of the Electric Field and Electric Potential. It highlights effective problem-solving strategies, key ...

If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even if ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or ...

The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...

Electrifying: a bumble-bee's tiny hairs detect electric fields. (Courtesy: G P Sutton et al.) The bumble-bee uses its distinctive yellow-and-black fuzz to sense weak electric fields. This is the ...
