In Python Physics #22, we bring electric fields of a point charge to life with interactive Python simulations. Learn how to visualize field lines, understand the direction and magnitude of the ...

In Python Physics #26, we dive into electric field calculations for a charged rod. Learn how to compute the electric field at various points along and around the rod using Python simulations, and ...

The idea of electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday. The electrical field force acts between two charges, in the same way that the gravitational field force acts between two masses. The ...

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 ...

Ciqun Xu, researcher at the University of Bristol, says, “Think of the electro morphing gel robot and future soft robots as Swiss Army knives. Their ...

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

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 ...
