Re:Water compresses under a high gradient electric field by geoalchimista on Monday July 02, 2018 @05:44PM (#17445584)

Ahh, "3 percent" means that from a fluid dynamics point of view, the incompressibility assumption is still a good assumption valid for most macroscopic applications. :) Still very impressive to achieve that under ambient pressure with an electric field gradient.
