In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate ...

A static electric field can be used to manipulate the superconducting state of metallic superconducting thin films, according to new experiments by researchers in Italy. The effect, which was first ...

Strontium titanate’s remarkable ability to perform at extremely low temperatures makes it a key material for next-generation cryogenic devices used in quantum computing and space exploration. Supercon ...

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

An electric charge (like a proton) creates an electric field in the region around it. This field points away from positive charges and decreases in strength as it gets farther away from the charge.

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

A new low-power technique for detecting the spin of electrons in a non-magnetic system could aid the development of spintronics devices that work using ferroelectricity rather than ferromagnetism.

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...

Physicists have found a way to reverse electron spins using electric fields for the first time, paving the way for programmable spintronics technologies. Spintronics is a field of physics that studies ...

Tessa Livingston came to the University of Wyoming determined to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives, and her research ...

As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his ...
