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 ...

A growing body of research is shifting how scientists explain static electricity, pointing to surface contamination and contact history rather than the inherent properties of materials as the primary ...

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 ...

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 ...

Machine learning models trained on molecular quadrupole moments predict electrostatic potentials rapidly, enabling faster ...

What if the very principles that have powered industry for over a century were suddenly turned on their head? For decades, electromagnetic motors—reliant on copper windings and rare earth magnets—have ...

Study demonstrates how charge engineering can deactivate competing reaction pathways to boost ammonia electrosynthesis ...

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.

The travel industry is taking a gun to the coronavirus. But in this case, the gun is a large handheld device that shoots a spray of potent disinfectant onto almost everything that an airline or hotel ...

PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced the completion of its 200th vessel dry docking using electrostatic application of marine fouling control coatings, nearly three years after introducing the technique to ...

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 ...
