Electrostatic motors are now common in MEMS applications, but researchers at the University of Wisconsin and spinoff C-Motive Technologies have brought macroscale electrostatic motors back.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) disrupts the normal operation of electronic components and systems. It can cause leakages, shorts, gate oxide ruptures, junction and metallization burnouts, and ...

This important study describes how a single effector of the Type Six Secretion System (T6SS) has two distinct functions, which may contribute to bacterial survival and the development of novel ...

The fine wire is electrically connected to an electrostatic voltmeter, and the frame to a source of variable potential. A potential is measured by slowly increasing the potential of the frame and ...
