New research sheds light on how electric fields can be used to alter the thermal properties of ferroelectric materials, allowing engineers to manipulate the flow of heat through the materials.

Imagine if we could use strong electromagnetic fields to manipulate the local properties of spacetime—this could have important ramifications in terms of science and engineering. Electromagnetism has ...

Glass, a highly functional material integral to modern technology, plays an active role in the world of electronics and energy. From the screens of our smartphones to the fibers that carry internet ...

Electric and magnetic fields are both components of an electromagnetic field. These two components occupy different planes relative to the cause of the electromagnetic field, for example a moving ...

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New satellite data and advanced simulations show that the morning side of the ...

I hope that you are never in a situation in which you are in danger from a downed, but live, power line. However, if that ever happens, the recommended safety procedure is to move away with tiny, ...
