The team found that honeybee hive swarms change the atmospheric electricity by 100 to 1,000 volts per meter, which increases the electric field force that is normally experienced at ground level ...

Since the electric force depends on the value of the charge (Q) (and not the mass), the electric field is the force per unit charge—or Newtons per Coulomb (N/C). Illustration: Rhett Allain.

To review: Charges experience an electric force, and moving charges experience a magnetic force. We can break this down by saying that electric charges create an electric field ( E ), and other ...

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 ...

NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles and joins the known ...

To find out whether that external force was electric fields, Sugi et al. conducted another experiment. They embedded a square array of micro-posts on the surface of the agar, ...

The service broke ground on the charging station at Duke Field in Florida Sept. 19, the Air Force Research Laboratory said in a statement, and it will be the first electric aircraft charging ...
