Scientists have finally confirmed that Earth is wrapped in a subtle but global electric field, a planetary-scale energy ...

An introduction to Coulomb’s Law and electric fields explained in a clear and simple way. Learn how electric charges interact, how force depends on distance, and how electric fields describe these ...

A strange electric field around the Earth, long suspected to exist, has been detected for the very first time, and it is believed to cause a polar wind which launches particles into space at ...

Eureka! As scientists continue to unravel the mysteries of our planet's atmosphere, a new finding provides valuable insights into Earth's ionosphere. Scientists have measured an electric field that ...

Quantum electrodynamics was put to the test with highly charged uranium ions To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic ...

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric fields ...
