As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

In this video, we introduce electric field calculations using Python! Learn how to use Python code to calculate electric fields, potential, and force interactions, and see practical examples for ...

Glioblastomas are one of the most malignant and lethal cancers. Despite recent treatment advancements, median survival is only 12 to 16 months. In 2015, the Optune device, a novel, non-invasive ...

Journal of Science Education and Technology, Vol. 26, No. 3 (JUNE 2017), pp. 332-346 (15 pages) Electromagnetism is an umbrella encapsulating several different concepts like electric current, electric ...

Low-intensity electric fields can disrupt the division of cancer cells and slow the growth of brain tumors, suggest laboratory experiments and a small human trial, raising hopes that electric fields ...

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 ...

We all know that sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell are the five human senses, but really they’re just the beginning. There are things like proprioception, the sense of orienting your body in space ...
