A new technological advancement uses an electric field to achieve efficient and low-cost ammonia removal from wastewater. Given its environmental toxicity, ammonia is removed during wastewater ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

A scalable nanofabrication method uses electric-field alignment and picosecond laser welding to imprint patterned silver nanowire networks on polymer films.

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

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 ...

Glioblastomas are one of the most malignant and lethal cancers. Despite recent treatment advancements, median survival is only 12 to 16 months. In 2015, the Optune device, a novel, non-invasive ...

A team of researchers claims to have shown that a high-voltage electric field generated using wind and rain can boost crop yield, but other scientists say the results should be treated with caution.

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 ...
