Moon dust is sharp, corrosive, and potentially fatal. NASA’s new electric force field shield is designed to blast it away.

At temperatures where most molecular movement ceases, certain organic crystals begin their self-healing journey.

In chemistry, the chemical nomenclature of ionic and molecular compounds uses a systematic approach of prefixes to indicate ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ferroelectric fluids use a strong transverse electrostatic force to climb 80 mm, enabling lightweight, low-voltage motors and compact energy-efficient actuators. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

Chalmers researchers have developed a simple, light-based platform to study the mysterious “invisible glue” that binds materials at the nanoscale. Gold flakes floating in salt water reveal how quantum ...

Understanding the properties of molecules and materials, as well as their chemical synthesis pathways, requires a thorough knowledge of chemical bonding. Deep ...

ABSTRACT: To help address global warming, various power generation methods that do not release carbon dioxide have been established, including electrostatic power generation. A wide variety of ...
