Electrostatic motors are now common in MEMS applications, but researchers at the University of Wisconsin and spinoff C-Motive Technologies have brought macroscale electrostatic motors back.

Normally electrostatic sparks are very small. If the object has a lot of charge, then these sparks can be hundreds of metres long. Sparks can occur between charged objects and people. Sometimes ...

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs ... Gas temperature - the temperature of the gas flow in the system. Particle chemistry - the chemical makeup of the particulate matter in the gas flow. The ...

Electrostatic loudspeakers work by the attraction and repulsion of a thin conductive film in an electric field rather than the magnetic attraction and repulsion you’ll find in a moving-coil ...

A plotter that uses an electrostatic method of printing. Liquid toner models use a positively charged toner that is attracted to paper which is negatively charged by passing by a line of ...

An electrostatic loudspeaker uses a thin plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets (the grids or stator plates). The audio signal is applied to the grids out of phase.

Remarkably, the group also discovered that, depending on the solvent, the impact varies for positively and negatively charged ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a significant concern in the chemical and electronics industries. In electronics, ...

A handful of scientists and engineers—armed with materials and techniques unimaginable in the 1700s—are creating modern versions of Franklin’s “electrostatic motor,” that are on the cusp ...

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Hugh McIntyre covers music, with a focus on the global charts. My Chemical Romance reunited in 2019 after more than half a decade apart.

My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade—both the album and the song—are present on the U.K. charts this week, as one returns and the other rises. (Photo by Matthew Simmons/WireImage for AOL ...
