The authors have used micromachining techniques to create structures that contain interconnected compartments, each measuring a few hundreds of nanometres in height (Fig. 1). This is advantageous for ...

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) offer a tried-and-true technology for particulate matter control. However, existing ESPs can be challenged to meet the latest regulatory requirements. Retrofitting ...

Ordinarily, water is used to clean off the layer of dust that continuously accumulates on solar panels. In arid regions, however, doing so can be challenging. A new system addresses this problem, by ...

There’s a very effective way of lifting dusty fingerprints from the field, or in a lab. It’s called an Electrostatic Dust Print Lifter — but as you can imagine, it is rather expensive from a forensic ...

This study introduces a newly optimized triangular-finger electrostatic comb-drive actuator designed to significantly enhance force intensity and travel range within a compact footprint.

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) have been used for over 100 years to remove entrained solid particulates or fine mists from gas flows in the power, cement, metal production, paper, and other ...

The study introduces an atomic single electron transistor that maps the electrostatic potential in a moiré unit cell, ...

Many people don’t realize that creating a safe electrostatic discharge workstation can enhance a worker’s productivity and reduce costs associated with damaged equipment. This guide covers all the ...

Hardly a person hasn’t experienced the sudden, sharp discharge of static electricity, especially on a crisp winter’s day. It usually requires a touch, though, the classic example being a spark from ...

There is no doubt that consumers want healthier homes today. An HVAC system air filter upgrade is one way contractors can simultaneously increase customers’ residential IAQ and generate more business.

We take a look at the history of the electrostatic loudspeaker and some of the designs that made it prized by audiophiles. Electrostatic loudspeakers have been part of my audiophile experience from ...
