Although dielectric energy-storing devices are frequently used in high voltage level, the fast growing on the portable and wearable electronics have been increasing the demand on the energy-storing devices at finite electric field strength. This paper proposes an approach on enhancing energy density under low electric field through compositionally inducing tricriticality in Ba(Ti,Sn)O3 ferroele...

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans deliberately crawls toward the negative pole in an electric field. By quantifying the movements of individual worms navigating electric fields, we show that C. elegans prefers to crawl at specific angles to the direction of the electric field in persistent periods of forward movement and that the preferred angle is proportional to field strength. C. elegans r...

The microbial inactivation/sterilization is an important part of our daily healthy life. This paper presents the overview on the sterilization process. Comparing the effectiveness of the sterilization agents it has been found that the short High Electric Field [HEF] pulse is the most efficient inactivation agent. This HEF pulse creates pores on the cell surface and kills the cell. Electroporati...

In this article, we investigated the electrohydrodynamic responses of a deformable fluid drop in another immiscible fluid under the action of a dc electric field. Both the ambient and drop fluids considered here were incompressible Newtonian and all of the drop phases were less conductive than their ambient fluids. Under these circumstances, the drops experienced the so-called electrorotation o...

We present a model study of the dynamic properties of a polaron in an organic ferromagnetic polymer by focusing on the spin correlation between the polymer backbone and the side radicals. The simulations are performed by using a tight-binding description coupled with a nonadiabatic dynamics method. We find that, in the presence of an external electric field, the polarons with both up and down s...

Electric impulses of high field intensity (2 x 105 to 3 × 106 Vm1, 1 to 20 #s duration) cause transient changes in the optical absorbance of suspended purple membranes ofHalobacterium halobium. The electric dichroism at 1 mM NaCl, pH ~ 6,and at 293K is dependent on field strength, pulse duration and wavelength of the monitoring, plane-polarized light in the range 400 to 650 nm. The optically de...

Blaizot We calculate the quarkonium dissociation rate in the P and CP-odd domains (bubbles) that were possibly created in heavy-ion collisions. In the presence of the magnetic field produced by the valence quarks of colliding ions, parity-odd dom...

The effect of electromagnetic radiation on public health is a recurring topic in the societal and political discourse, peaking with introduction every new generation cellular technology. With 5G, promising high peak download speeds as well high-power beams, there need to revisit traditional measurement approaches. ICNIRP, a.k.a International Committee Non-Ionising Radiation Protection, offers u...
