Abstract: This chapter discusses electric field theory and the concept of electric breakdown of gaseous, liquid and solid insulating materials. Partial discharges (PD) cannot occur unless there are ...

Smartphones, electric vehicles and wind turbines rely on environmentally destructive rare earth mining operations. Harnessing electric fields could make this mining more sustainable ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to ...

The electric current, in turn, creates its own magnetic field—one that is stronger than the field that created it in the first place. As liquid metal passes through the stronger field ...

These signals come in chemical and mechanical forms, guiding cells like navigational beacons. However, recent research reveals an additional player in this intricate dance: bio-electric fields. These ...

Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, ...

It has thus received much attention from academia, industry, and governments. Atomic wireless sensing uses the strong response of the large electric dipole moment of a Rydberg atom in response to an ...

Low-intensity, intermediate-frequency electric fields of alternating direction ('tumor-treating fields'; TTFields) have been shown to halt cancer growth in culture and in mouse dermal tumors by ...
