Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In ...
Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...
Pigeons can sense Earth’s magnetic field by detecting tiny electric currents in their inner ears, a team of researchers suggests. Such an inner compass could help to explain how certain animals can ...
