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

Put the rubbed surface of the balloon against a wall - the electrostatic force should keep it there. If not then charge it more by rubbing it on your hair or jumper and then try again. Measure the ...

A very common type of problem beginning Physics students are asked to solve is that of ... They dangle under the influence of both electrostatic forces and gravitational force. If both strings are the ...

Dr Charles Buhler has been the lead NASA scientist on Electrostatics. An experiment last month was sent to the moon and ...

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 ...

Photocatalysis involves three fundamental steps: light absorption, charge separation and transfer, and chemical reactions.

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.
