Classical principles of electrophysiology become inaccurate on the nanoscale because some of the underlying assumptions do not hold at such small distances. The molecular composition of the cell ...

A new study suggests that electric fields may represent information held in working memory, allowing the brain to overcome 'representational drift,' or the inconsistent participation of individual ...

In this system, an external electric field shifts the direction of the atomic quantization axis. This shift changes how atoms ...

Electric fields arise spontaneously at the surface of solid catalysts immersed in liquids, and this common yet largely overlooked phenomenon directly affects the rates of a large class of reactions.

The concept of the electric field being null inside of a closed conducting surface was first illustrated by Michael Faraday in 19th century who also considered as a physicist who endorsed the field ...

Fleeting electron-hole pairs are giving scientists a new window into optimizing light-emitting devices (LEDs). Using quantum magnetic resonance, Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...
