Unlike traditional lab-based methods, the GranuCharge AL provides instant access to the charge per mass measurement thanks to its integrated load cell combined with a Faraday cup connected to a highly ...

A team of researchers has developed a gel electret capable of stably retaining a large electrostatic charge. The team then combined this gel with highly flexible electrodes to create a sensor capable ...

Space-based gravitational wave detection hinges on the precise free-fall of test masses within an interferometric framework. These free-falling cubes, typically composed of gold‐platinum alloys, are ...

A parasitic worm uses static electricity to launch itself onto flying insects, a mechanism uncovered by physicists and biologists at Emory and Berkeley. By generating opposite charges, the worm and ...

A dead satellite can become a high-speed hazard in an orbit that is already packed with working spacecraft. That risk is why engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder are building what sounds ...
