Electric fields can modulate chemical reactivity by stabilising charged or polar transition states and intermediates, thereby altering reaction kinetics and selectivity. Both endogenous fields in ...

Electro-optical sensing of electric fields exploits the change in optical properties of materials under an applied electric field, enabling non-invasive, high-speed and high-sensitivity measurement ...

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 ...
