Equations (I) and (II) are Maxwell’s First and Second equations. The symbols E and H represent electric and magnetic fields, respectively. It is striking to observe that E and H are somehow equated; ...

Electric eels temporarily paralyze their prey by shocking them with electricity using a series of brief, high-voltage pulses, much as a Taser would do. Now, a researcher has discovered that the ...

The electric eel (Electrophorus electrics) is a South American fish that stuns its prey through high-voltage shocks. More than two-thirds of the eel's body – which can reach 2.5 metres (8 feet ...

Catania, K. Electric eels concentrate their electric field to induce involuntary fatigue in struggling prey. Current Biology , October 2015 DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2015.09.036 Cite This Page : ...

The researchers then cooled the ice even further, to between -70°C and -150°C, and measured the elastic strain of the fibres, which is a means of assessing how much a material is being bent and ...

When the eel curls up in this horseshoe shape, something similar happens — it produces a strong electric field. "When the eel curls its positive and negative poles together and sandwiches the ...

Electric eels can more than double the power of their electrical discharge just by curling their long bodies around prey items, a new study finds. Skip to main content Open menu Close menu ...
