A breakthrough by researchers at The University of Manchester sheds light on one of nature's most elusive forces, with wide-reaching implications for medicine, energy, climate modeling and more. The ...

A dead satellite can become a high-speed hazard in an orbit that is already packed with working spacecraft. That risk is why ...

This remarkable miniature rotorcraft is so lightweight and efficient that it can lift its own mass given nothing but sunlight. The entire thing weighs about as much as four paperclips, and it can fly ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

Invisibly to us, insects and other tiny creatures use static electricity to travel, avoid predators, collect pollen and more. New experiments explore how evolution may have influenced this phenomenon.

Princeton researchers have created a device that can herd groups of cells like sheep, precisely directing the cells’ movements by manipulating electric fields to mimic those found in the body during ...

Pollinating bees aren’t fond of fertilizers or pesticides due to the way chemicals impact the electric field around flowers, according to a study published today in the journal PNAS Nexus. 🐝 Science ...
