This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

Most noise-blocking headphones fall into two categories: they use some kind of material to absorb or scatter noise, or they use active cancellation that creates a signal to oppose the noise signal.

A former NASA engineer working on a propellant-less propulsion drive has claimed that the device can deliver enough thrust to ...

According to research funded by a grant from the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association (USPOULTRY), the recirculating ...

Magnetic force can overcome gravity. That’s why this magnet can hover in mid-air. Electrostatic force also attracts and repels objects. Rubbing the balloon on another surface creates a small ...

Nanoscale materials present us with astonishing chemical and physical properties that help materialize applications such as single molecular sensing and minimally invasive photothermal therapy—which ...

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) or electrostatic air cleaners are particulate collection devices which use electrostatic forces to separate particulate matter (PM) from exhaust gases. Electrostatic ...

What is Electrostatic Force Microscopy? Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that measures the electrostatic interactions between a conductive probe and a ...

Electrostatic capacitors play a crucial role in modern electronics. They enable ultrafast charging and discharging, providing energy storage and power for devices ranging from smartphones ...
