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

As space junk continues to multiply around our planet, threatening satellites and space missions, a new breakthrough proposes ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight – Application Note) Most of the material properties investigated by atomic force microscopy AFM are acquired by processing the deflection signal of the cantilever as depicted in ...

An international research team led by the University of Vienna has succeeded in developing a new method to directly measure partial charges in molecules. The results, now published in Nature, provide ...

Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) and dielectric characterisation have emerged as pivotal techniques in the exploration of nanoscale phenomena, enabling researchers to probe the electrical ...

Electric motors are almost everywhere; they’re in your refrigerator, blender, washing machine, the hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, electric toothbrush, toys, garage door opener and there is one even in ...

Pioneered almost 300 years ago by Benjamin Franklin, the basic science of electrostatics has generated recent advances that could soon lead to color laser printers that are cheaper and up to 70 ...

With mass spectrometry imaging, chemists can create maps of the locations of biological molecules within tissues and cells. Unfortunately, the dominant imaging methods that exist today often require ...
