It's time for another physics example. In this case, I am going to calculate the electric field due to an electric charged rod. Of course you could do this analytically using a bit of calculus. This ...

It turns out that sharks (and some other fish) can detect electric fields. This sixth sense is called electroreception. I don't know much about sharks (well, I think they're cool), but I do know ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully measured electric fields near the surfaces of two-dimensional layered ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that it is possible to control the spin of a single electron by using an electric field rather than a magnetic field, as is usually the case. The breakthrough ...

Electrifying: a bumble-bee's tiny hairs detect electric fields. (Courtesy: G P Sutton et al.) The bumble-bee uses its distinctive yellow-and-black fuzz to sense weak electric fields. This is the ...
