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 ...
New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...
Earth has a global magnetic field that’s flinging tiny bits of our atmosphere out into space. Researcher’s from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center recently launched a rocket high into the sky over the ...
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 ...
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 ...
