Scientists found that dolphins have an ability to sense electric fields, which may help them hunt and navigate the seas. By Carolyn Wilke Newborn bottlenose dolphins sport a row of hairs along the ...

It turns out that sharks (and some other fish) can detect electric fields. This sixth sense is called electroreception. I don't know much about sharks (well, I think they're cool), but I do know ...

Sure enough, the dolphins indicated that they could sense the pulsating electric fields. Like sharks, Dehnhardt said this ability in dolphins likely helps them search for food. “The sensitivity ...

Dolly and Donna, two dolphins at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, appear to be able to sense electric fields — an ability that might help them detect prey buried in sand or enhance their navigation.

The tiny hairs covering their bodies, for instance, are ultra-sensitive to electric fields that help bees identify flowers. These electric fields can influence how bees forage—or, if those ...

A team of scientists in the United Kingdom measured the electrical fields near swarming honeybees and found that the insects can produce as much atmospheric electric charge as a thunderstorm cloud.

The researchers found that, rather than crawling up the walls of the dish, the worms were leaping from the bottom of the plate to the lid—and they were using electric fields to do so.
