You assumed that the electric field is constant outside of a battery. It isn't. Producer: Yes, but this gets across the idea that sharks are very sensitive to electric fields.

A new study is shedding light on why solar radiation is more effective than other forms of energy at causing water to ...

The team then upped the stakes by changing the electric fields from constant static to a pulse, which mimics what sea creatures produce. They pulsed electric fields 25, five, and finally one time ...

And these electric fields of flowers can change when it has been visited by a bee, and other bees can use that information to see whether a flower has been visited.

But electric fields are a dynamic phenomenon, explains Hunting. “Flowers typically have a negative potential and bees have a positive potential,” Hunting says. “Once bees approach, they can ...

For a hydrogen atom, the upward pull of this electric field is 10.6 times stronger than gravity pulling downward, said Alex Glocer, a NASA physicist and co-author of the study. Advertisement ...

Scientists found that dolphins have an ability to sense electric fields, which may help them hunt and navigate the seas. By Carolyn Wilke Newborn bottlenose dolphins sport a row of hairs along the ...

Dolly and Donna, two dolphins at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, appear to be able to sense electric fields — an ability that might help them detect prey buried in sand or enhance their navigation.
