The study of electric field behaviour in composite materials addresses the complex interplay between varied constituent phases and the interfaces that separate them. In these systems, the conductivity ...

Researchers have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known as magnetoelectrics, which offer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Glass embedded with electric-field-driven electrodes removes dust from its surface without water or scrubbing, offering a durable, passive cleaning solution for solar panels and other exposed optical ...
