A dead satellite can become a high-speed hazard in an orbit that is already packed with working spacecraft. That risk is why ...

Electrostatic adsorption is an important complement to mechanical filtration for high-efficiency air filtering in the use of face masks. However, the electrostatic charge of the filters decays over ...

Unlike traditional lab-based methods, the GranuCharge AL provides instant access to the charge per mass measurement thanks to its integrated load cell combined with a Faraday cup connected to a highly ...

Several mutations in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron spike protein cause additional positive surface charges compared to the reference spike protein (from the ...

Hardly a person hasn’t experienced the sudden, sharp discharge of static electricity, especially on a crisp winter’s day. It usually requires a touch, though, the classic example being a spark from ...

We investigate the domain of electrostatic dust charging at variable pressures for applications to dusty plasmas in various industries including space sciences and semiconductor manufacturing. Dr.

Many materials involved in manufacturing, handling, and using microelectronic parts easily become electrostatically charged when rubbed. If charged surfaces come near static-sensitive devices, the ...

The use of granular materials and fine powders are commonplace in industrial applications. These materials must be precisely characterized in order to properly control and optimize processing methods, ...

MEMS sensors serving mobiles, smart industries, healthcare and retail get a makeover by incorporating two new features: machine-learning core (MLC) and electrostatic sensing. With MLC, MEMS sensors ...
