Energy harvesting from an ambient electric field is a viable solution for applications where solar power is not readily available. Some examples include monitoring power lines to enable the “smart ...

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

A strange electric field around the Earth, long suspected to exist, has been detected for the very first time, and it is believed to cause a polar wind which launches particles into space at ...

Pollinating bees aren’t fond of fertilizers or pesticides due to the way chemicals impact the electric field around flowers, according to a study published today in the journal PNAS Nexus. 🐝 Science ...

A new study identifies how water becomes ionized under electrochemical conditions. Hydrogen is expected to play a major role ...
