This discussion from Reddit explores solving physics homework problems involving the calculation of the Electric Field and Electric Potential. It highlights effective problem-solving strategies, key ...

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

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 ...

The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

Lightning has captivated scientists for centuries, but despite extensive research, the precise atmospheric conditions that trigger a lightning strike within thunderclouds have remained a profound ...

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 ...

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, ...

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...
