Moon dust is sharp, corrosive, and potentially fatal. NASA’s new electric force field shield is designed to blast it away.

In this video, we compute and visualize the electric field from two charges using Python, showing how to calculate field vectors and plot the results clearly. Perfect for learning electrostatics, ...

In this video, we derive the electric field between two charged plates using fundamental principles of electrostatics. Step-by-step reasoning, clear equations, and physical intuition are used to show ...

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts ...

Mars has an active, electrically charged surface where dust storms and spinning dust devils regularly move and reshape the ...

Academician Yu-Zhong Wang's team at Sichuan University proposed an innovative "LEGO" strategy, successfully upgrading and ...

Researchers are developing a real-life tractor beam, with the goal of pulling defunct satellites out of geostationary orbit to alleviate the space junk problem. When you purchase through links on our ...

Researchers wanted to quantify how much charge a jumping parasitic roundworm needed to latch on to its fruit fly host.Credit...By Victor M. Ortega-Jimenez Supported by By Alexa Robles-Gil For small ...

Static electricity can be a small annoyance for humans—a zap when you touch a doorknob, your hair shooting up when you pull off a sweater—but for small organisms, it can be a lifesaver. Static helps ...
