A new method using a combination of strong and weak electric fields to change nanoparticle speed and direction could improve ...

Abstract: XY equivalent structure model plays a crucial role in characterizing insulation states of oil-paper insulation system (OPIS) in power transformers based on frequency-domain spectroscopy (FDS ...

Some things that physicists study are harder to measure than others. If you’re looking at the acceleration of a free falling object, it's pretty easy. Just take a ball and drop it—measure the height ...

I hope that you are never in a situation in which you are in danger from a downed, but live, power line. However, if that ever happens, the recommended safety procedure is to move away with tiny, ...

NASA scientists have discovered a planet-wide electric field surrounding Earth, confirming a 60-year-old hypothesis. Studying the field could yield some vital information about how our planet's ...

A strange electric field around the Earth, long suspected to exist, has been detected for the very first time, and it is believed to cause a polar wind which launches particles into space at ...

During the 1960s, spacecraft traveling above Earth's poles discovered a stream of particles flowing out of the Earth's poles, and theorized that there must be an unknown field driving these particles ...
