If you want something to move with electricity, odds are you’ll be using magnets. Deep inside every servo, every motor, and every linear actuator is a magnet and some coils of wire. There is another ...

Stick around in audio circles long enough and you'll likely find yourself in a discussion about electrostatic speakers or headphones. This technology is often considered the holy grail to devout ...

Editor’s note: The following is a Sand 9 white paper discussing the evolution of MEMS technology in our industry as it relates to timing devices. Quartz has dominated the industry until recently.

“We probably shouldn’t discuss that, but there are ways,” he said. The real promise of the electrostatic devices, at least the way Kulcinski sees it, is that the electrostatic devices can be used for ...

He and his colleagues have been experimenting with electrostatic grid reactors for years. "We're not even close to break-even," Kulcinski said. But the devices do produce enough high-energy protons to ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. People from ancient times knew that ...

Static electricity can be defined as a stationary charge that builds up on the surface of a material. The interaction between stationary charges, known as electrostatics, leads to two key problems: ...

In this video, we explore the Wimshurst machine, an electrostatic device created around 1880 by British inventor James Wimshurst. These machines were used in 19th-century physics research and ...
