A cellphone-sized device automatically adjusts a home’s power use up or down to save the consumer money and increase the resiliency of the electric grid….
A hair-like protein hidden inside bacteria serves as a sort of on-off switch for nature’s “electric grid,” a global web of bacteria-generated nanowires that permeates…
Every child knows that water conducts electricity — but this refers to “normal” everyday water that contains salts. Pure, distilled water, on the other hand,…
Researchers from Idaho National Laboratory and New Mexico-based Visgence Inc. have designed and demonstrated a technology that can block cyberattacks from impacting the nation’s electric…
Pure water is not a good conductor of electricity. It is, in fact, an electrical insulator. In order to conduct electricity, water must contain dissolved…
To deter attempts to disable U.S. electrical utilities and to defend U.S. nuclear weapon systems from evolving technological threats, Sandia National Laboratories has begun two…

University of California, Riverside, physics students design a table-top experiment for the classroom. Physicists at University of California, Riverside, have designed an experiment to explain…
An obstacle to generating fusion reactions inside facilities called tokamaks is that producing the current in plasma that helps create confining magnetic fields happens in…
Modern computer memory encodes information by switching magnetic bits within devices. Now, a ground-breaking study conducted by researchers from NUS Electrical and Computer Engineering has…
Scientists showed for the first time the presence of unique magnetic transitions in peculiar structures similar to quasicrystals. In the world of materials science, many…
Circuit design offers a path to “spintronic” devices that use little electricity and generate practically no heat. MIT researchers have devised a novel circuit design…
Columbia researchers suggest radiation that lights the densest objects in our universe is powered by the interplay of turbulence and reconnection of super-strong magnetic fields….
Physicists find a way to eliminate unwanted damping. Smaller, faster, more energy-efficient – this is the goal that developers of electronic devices have been working…
Non-volatile control of magnetic anisotropy through change of electric polarization: Researchers from Kanazawa University use electrical polarization to control magnetic properties aiming for advanced memory…
Industrial-strength adhesive that debonds in a magnetic field means products can be dismantled and recycled, rather than thrown into landfill. Researchers at the University of…
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers created and tested new wireless charging designs that may double the power density, resulting in a lighter weight system compared…
