Existing sensor probes for microelectrical devices can measure only their average electric properties, providing no information on their spatial distribution. Liquid crystal droplets (LCDs) -- ...

As we learn more about electricity, we have to talk about fields. As we learn more about electricity, we have to talk about fields. Electric fields may seem complicated, but they're really fascinating ...

At an effective temperature of 13 million kelvins, the jiggling glass sphere could help scientists understand physics at the microscale.

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

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 ...

HD Electric Co. now offers a new Watchman Work Area Voltage Detector, designed to detect and alert trained utility personnel working on or near high-voltage systems of strong electric fields ...
