At its core, computing relies on manipulating electric currents and fields. But as devices shrink to the nanometer scale, controlling these flows becomes increasingly difficult. Wires and transistors ...

Caterpillars respond defensively to electric fields similar to those emitted by their natural predators, scientists have found. Caterpillars respond defensively to electric fields similar to those ...

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

Scientists have demonstrated that other physicists' recent 'discovery' of the field effect in superconductors is nothing but hot electrons after all. A team of scientists have found new and compelling ...
