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 ...

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 ...

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.

We take a look at the history of the electrostatic loudspeaker and some of the designs that made it prized by audiophiles. Electrostatic loudspeakers have been part of my audiophile experience from ...

An electrostatic loudspeaker uses a thin plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets (the grids or stator plates). The audio signal is applied to the grids out of phase. While one ...

Many people don’t realize that creating a safe electrostatic discharge workstation can enhance a worker’s productivity and reduce costs associated with damaged equipment. This guide covers all the ...

Researchers have mapped out a radically new approach for designing optical and electronic properties of materials. Computational materials design is traditionally used to improve and further develop ...

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 ...

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) have been used for over 100 years to remove entrained solid particulates or fine mists from gas flows in the power, cement, metal production, paper, and other ...
