When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force." Positive and negative charges ...
Silicon photonic systems rely increasingly on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) actuators to provide precise beam steering, wavelength tuning, and optical switching. These applications demand ...
Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise over 80 mm, without magnets or high voltages. By exploiting the fluid’s ...
An international research team led by the University of Vienna has succeeded in developing a new method to directly measure partial charges in molecules. The results, now published in Nature, provide ...
Kelvin probe force microscopy (abbreviated as KPFM, KFM or SKFM) is a technique predicated on atomic force microscopy (AFM): used to examine the electronic properties of nanoscale materials and ...
Researchers have discovered for the first time, through theoretical calculation and experiment that macroscopic frictions occurring between clay mineral surfaces originate from interatomic ...
