Physicists at NASA and Princeton generate electricity from the Earth's rotation: could wind energy be our energy source of ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

Graphene-based Hall sensors represent a significant advancement in magnetic field measurement by harnessing the exceptional electrical and mechanical properties of graphene. Owing to its atomically ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and ...

Scientists launched a rocket from Svalbard, Norway, that measured Earth’s ambipolar electric field for the first time. The weak field may control the shape and evolution of the upper atmosphere and ...

Genetic analysis of inner ear tissue revealed cells with highly sensitive electric sensors, the same ones used by sharks to detect their prey. "The cells we describe are ideally equipped to detect ...

In physics and materials science, the term "spin chirality" refers to an asymmetry in the arrangement of spins (i.e., the ...

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 ...

Ever seen the northern lights? You have a magnetic layer in Earth’s atmosphere to thank for those beautiful displays. But the magnetosphere does a lot more than create auroras.

Germany’s Federal Office for Radiation Protection has released the findings of a multi-year investigation into electromagnetic exposure in modern vehicles, and the takeaway is straightforward: whether ...
