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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Butterflies and moths collect so much static electricity whilst in flight, that pollen grains from flowers can be pulled by static electricity across air gaps of several millimetres or centimetres.

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, ...
