Inside a plastic bag, a nine-bladed device sat on a foam stand, tethered to a force meter. The meter registered a push. No ...

Something as simple as the motion of water drops on surfaces should actually be understood—one would think. In fact there are still numerous unanswered questions about the forces acting on a sliding ...

Developing new and more-efficient catalytic ways to control chemical reactivity and selectivity has been a constant quest for chemists in the fields of chemical manufacturing and fundamental research.

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 ...

Invisibly to us, insects and other tiny creatures use static electricity to travel, avoid predators, collect pollen and more. New experiments explore how evolution may have influenced this phenomenon.

Applied Electromagnetics Using QuickField™ and MATLAB® is intended as an introductory level textbook for teaching computer-based electricity, magnetism and multiphysics. The text is easily accessible ...
