Like tiny, crawling compass needles, whole living cells and cell fragments orient and move in response to electric fields — but in opposite directions, scientists at the University of California, ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Bees are well-versed in the unspoken language of flowers. These ...

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

The electrical manipulation of magnetism and magnetic properties has been achieved across a number of different material systems. For example, applying an electric field to a ferromagnetic material ...

Bacteria can produce enzymes that make them resistant to antibiotics; one example is the TEM beta-lactamase enzyme, which enables bacteria to develop a resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, such as ...

Flash sintering is a novel field assisted sintering technique, whereby ceramics can be sintered in just a few seconds. For example, 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) was shown to sinter in 5 ...
