A new study suggests that an ultra-energetic cosmic ray which approached Earth from the direction of a vast intergalactic ...

Abstract: This paper applies the Boltzmann method of gaseous kinetics to the problem of charged particles moving through a gas under the influence of a static, uniform electric field. The particle ...

In a distinct set of experiments, the tribocharged granules were transferred in the electric field of a free-fall electrostatic separator and collected in 9 distinct compartments. The charge and the ...

Physicists developed a method using hydrogen cations to control electronic properties in magnetic Weyl semimetals, enabling ...

These new properties shake up what researchers previously knew about magnetism, showing it's not as static as once believed ... One scientific field that could directly benefit from the ...

It is shown that a substantial increase in atmospheric potential gradient only marginally affects the electric field under the tree canopy, and that soil electrochemical properties are tied to the ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

By scanning such a trapped gold particle over the sample ... the separation of free charge carriers under the influence of the external electric field associated with the propagating light.

Running in a 17-mile (27-kilometer) long loop beneath the Alps near Geneva, Switzerland, the LHC is most famous for its discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, the "messenger" of the Higgs Field ...

Researchers led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a breakthrough technique that ...
