Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise over 80 mm, without magnets or high voltages. By exploiting the fluid's ...

Dr Charles Buhler has been the lead NASA scientist on Electrostatics. An experiment last month was sent to the moon and showed success against a decades long problem of lunar dust. Buhler believes his ...

Invisibly to us, insects and other tiny creatures use static electricity to travel, avoid predators, collect pollen and more. New experiments explore how evolution may have influenced this phenomenon.

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 ...

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is an effective method for examining ferroelectric materials due to its nanometer-level resolution and high sensitivity, inherited from atomic force microscopy ...
