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 ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...

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 stream of compressed air does not look like a power source. In factories, it usually hisses through pipes, drives tools, then disappears as waste.

While still theoretical, it's another clue for fusion scientists who are trying to commercialize the near-limitless energy ...

Electrically switchable adhesion in a ferroelectric polymer film enables clean, fast, solvent-free transfer of graphene from copper growth substrates to target surfaces.

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