What the research is about When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force ...

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 ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...

Behind the investor interest is a highly specialized component: electrostatic chucks, or ESCs, used in semiconductor etch ...

How did we first discover electricity? In this video, we build the early device that first helped us harness and understand this powerful force: the electrostatic generator!

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

Spider-Man's best-known power has a whole lot of uses that nobody has thought of, and Marvel just revealed a fun one.

A stream of compressed air does not look like a power source. In factories, it usually hisses through pipes, drives tools, then disappears as waste.

The Sun, through its distant activity, could contribute to earthquakes. A theoretical study examines this unexpected idea. It ...

Electrically switchable adhesion in a ferroelectric polymer film enables clean, fast, solvent-free transfer of graphene from copper growth substrates to target surfaces.

While still theoretical, it's another clue for fusion scientists who are trying to commercialize the near-limitless energy ...
