The transport or movement of particles or ions in a fluid medium under the influence of an electric field.
From electro- + vection (from Latin vehere, to carry). A scientific term coined in the 20th century to describe electrokinetic phenomena like electrophoresis.
Electrovection is how DNA gets separated in laboratories—scientists use electric fields to push charged molecules through gel, creating a visible fingerprint of an organism's genetic code.
