At first glance, the electric eel’s abilities feel implausible. But upon a closer inspection, we find a precise, evolved ...

Scientists have finally confirmed that Earth is wrapped in a subtle but global electric field, a planetary-scale energy structure that had existed only in theory for decades. The discovery reveals a ...

Polarizable nanodomains in lead-free BNT ceramics overcome the trade-off between energy storage density and efficiency at ...

Imagine not having to pay your electricity bills because a gigantic magnet surrounding the Earth produced power. Well, Earth indeed has a magnet like this, which is its magnetic field. When the fiery ...

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that ...

Yellow waves show propagating atomic vibrations observed at ORNL’s Spallation Neutron Source. In a smart, switchable ceramic, an electric field aligns charges so vibrations along white field lines ...

New nitride materials could let electricity control hidden magnetic spin patterns, pointing toward faster and more stable ...
