Understand how to calculate the electric field of a dipole using the far field approximation. A key concept in ...

A growing body of neuroscience research is challenging a basic assumption about how the brain produces awareness. Where conventional theories treat consciousness as a product of neuronal firing alone, ...

Fleeting electron-hole pairs are giving scientists a new window into optimizing light-emitting devices (LEDs). Using quantum ...

But any amount of electrical activity could contribute to a prevailing electric field which also influences the spiking, said study senior author Earl K. Miller, Picower Professor in the Department of ...

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 ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

Those electric fields are theorized to play an important role in forming a precise environment in active sites where molecules react and rapidly transition to new molecules. Now a study co-led by ...

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 ...
