Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

Conventional electronics process information leveraging the electrical charge of electrons. Over the past few decades, some ...

A detailed 3D reconstruction of the Marmara fault highlights high-stress boundaries that could trigger the next major ...

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the ...

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the Sun toward Earth. Here, it meets the Earth’s magnetic fields, which shield our planet like a giant umbrella. The Space Umbrella ...

In the modern manufacturing landscape, the quest for consistent and reproducible mechanical properties in injection molded parts is more critical than ever. Achieving this level of quality depends ...

This video demonstrates a Monte Carlo simulation of the electric field produced by a uniformly charged disk. We use random sampling to approximate the field, explore how accuracy improves with more ...

Mars regularly experiences dust storms, like this one captured by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2012. Scientists say they found evidence of "mini lightning" during some of these storms. NASA / ...

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 ...

Live electrical wires fell into a road in the northwest suburbs after a transformer was damaged, blocking traffic near a popular mall during rush hour Tuesday, authorities said. Around 5 p.m. Tuesday, ...
