Germany’s Federal Office for Radiation Protection has released the findings of a multi-year investigation into ...

Researchers measured the amount of radiation drivers and passengers are exposed to while travelling in and charging electric ...

Protein crystallisation, a cornerstone technique in structural biology, is increasingly being refined through the controlled application of external electric and magnetic fields. By precisely ...

Magnetic sensors quietly underpin everything from smartphone compasses to the stability systems that keep electric vehicles ...

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 ...

Today’s computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to run programs and process information, computers rely on electricity. Each ...

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric fields ...
