Electrostatic motors are now common in MEMS applications, but researchers at the University of Wisconsin and spinoff C-Motive Technologies have brought macroscale electrostatic motors back.

Electrostatic loudspeakers work by the attraction and repulsion of a thin conductive film in an electric field rather than the magnetic attraction and repulsion you’ll find in a moving-coil ...

A NASA engineer has made an extraordinary claim that could shake the foundations of physics as we know it. Dr. Charles Buhler ...

Magnetic force can overcome gravity. That’s why this magnet can hover in mid-air. Electrostatic force also attracts and repels objects. Rubbing the balloon on another surface creates a small ...

An electrostatic loudspeaker uses a thin plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets (the grids or stator plates). The audio signal is applied to the grids out of phase.

Understand Electrostatic Discharge and its impact on electronic devices. Learn about ESD protection and testing standards.

A plotter that uses an electrostatic method of printing. Liquid toner models use a positively charged toner that is attracted to paper which is negatively charged by passing by a line of ...

Guitar notes can be an accurate test of the tonal accuracy and speed of a driver and the CRBN2 proved to be rather adept with ...

The system features an electrostatic ionizer that reduces attraction between dust particles and their accumulation on modules, improving their energy yield. Researchers from the University of ...

Normally electrostatic sparks are very small. If the object has a lot of charge, then these sparks can be hundreds of metres long. Sparks can occur between charged objects and people. Sometimes ...

The packaging is somewhat austere and opening the box revealed a pair of the SR-X1 headphones, supplied cable, and warranty ...

The "electrostatic speakers" can apparently create "personal bubbles" in the cabin, minimizing noise overlap. Reports suggest ...
