Ionic defects are present in every frost sheet. Jonathan Boreyko’s team at Virginia Tech has used a high-voltage technique to ...

Bright idea: Harry Atwater is working on a plasmonic solar cell A new way of creating a voltage by shining light on a solid has been developed by researchers in the US and Europe. Unlike most ...

During winter months, frost can unleash icy havoc on cars, planes, heat pumps, and much more. But thermal defrosting with ...

High-voltage copper plates can remove up to three-quarters of frost from a surface, while using much less energy than ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Chao from East China Normal University has uncovered the origin of voltage decay in P2-type ...

A team of researchers in France has found that applying a voltage across a 100-nm-thick cylindrical soap film causes the fluid inside it to flow upwards. If the voltage is increased, the film thickens ...

A more efficient way to defrost cars - using electricity to "zap" ice without heat or chemicals - is being developed. Frost ...

Electrical energy is easy to move from place to place, using wire or cables. However, electrical energy must be changed into other forms of energy before we can use it. The symbol for power is \(P\), ...
