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 ...

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

They identified electrostatic forces that support this self-organization and contribute to the stability of the protein. Collagens are the most prevalent proteins in the human body, found in skin ...

If you’ve ever felt your hair lift as you take off a synthetic-fibre jumper, you will be familiar with the phenomenon of electrostatic force. Coulomb’s Law in action, the force resulting from ...

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 ...
