An electric field is found to be capable of controlling dislocation movement in semiconducting zinc sulfide, as observed in real time by in situ transmission electron microscopy. Li and colleagues ...

Crystal symmetry in condensed-matter materials largely dictates their micro- and macroscopic properties 1 and, in turn, their functionalities. Much effort has been devoted to designing and tuning ...

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric fields ...
