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 ...

Electric fields can feel abstract, but interactive simulations make them tangible. From placing charges to mapping equipotential lines, these tools bring invisible forces to life. Whether you’re a ...

Beta Technologies' Alia electric aircraft finished a three-month experimental deployment with the U.S. Air Force that included a simulated casualty evacuation at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia. (Beta ...

Kyoto, Japan -- The region of space dominated by Earth's magnetic field is the magnetosphere. Observations have shown that, within this region, an electric force acts from the morning side to 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 ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...
