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 ...

This video presents the analytical solution for the electric field along the axis of a uniformly charged disk. Starting from Coulomb’s law, we derive the exact expression and discuss its physical ...

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 ...

This alternating electric field produces what are called dielectrophoretic forces, which are essentially a non-uniform electric field creating a traveling wave that pushes dust across the surface. By ...

The K3 ® IS camera from Gatan provides synchronous low-dose imaging via real-time electron counting, rapid continuous data capture and a large field of view. In a 4D STEM experiment, the speed of the ...

Dolly and Donna, two dolphins at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, appear to be able to sense electric fields — an ability that might help them detect prey buried in sand or enhance their navigation. All ...

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