A dead satellite can become a high-speed hazard in an orbit that is already packed with working spacecraft. That risk is why ...

Electrostatics is a branch of physics that deals with the properties of slow-moving electric charges. Electrostatic phenomena can be described with the help of Coulomb’s Law. Electric field lines will ...

This perspective is led by Prof. Weidong Shi and Prof. Long Zhang. Developing new and more-efficient catalytic ways to control chemical reactivity and selectivity has been a constant quest for ...

Electrostatics and electrodynamics form the cornerstone of classical electromagnetic theory, describing, respectively, the behaviour of electric fields generated by static charge distributions and the ...

Atoms are composed of three particles with an electric charge: electrons, protons and uncharged neutrons. Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. The negative charge of ...

Dr Charles Buhler has been the lead NASA scientist on Electrostatics. An experiment last month was sent to the moon and showed success against a decades long problem of lunar dust. Buhler believes his ...
