What the research is about When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force ...

Silicon photonic systems rely increasingly on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) actuators to provide precise beam ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ionosphere, it may generate electric fields that penetrate fragile fracture ...

How did we first discover electricity? In this video, we build the early device that first helped us harness and understand this powerful force: the electrostatic generator!

Behind the investor interest is a highly specialized component: electrostatic chucks, or ESCs, used in semiconductor etch ...

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

The Sun, through its distant activity, could contribute to earthquakes. A theoretical study examines this unexpected idea. It ...

A thin sheet of nylon does not look like much on its own. But in lab tests, a film made by researchers at RMIT University kept generating electricity after being folded, stretched, and even run over ...

Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a ...

2026 will be a transformative year in this area — one where force fields redefine the boundaries of atomistic simulation, making previously unthinkable modeling and discoveries routine. With workflows ...

Conventional electronics process information leveraging the electrical charge of electrons. Over the past few decades, some ...

A flexible electronic skin inspired by shark electroreception lets robotic hands identify object shapes and materials through both non-contact electrostatic scanning and touch-based sensing.
