Discover how to create a simple thermal motor using an aluminum can and two small DC motors. This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates each stage of building a DIY thermal engine that transforms heat ...

In a discovery that is likely to impact fields as diverse as atomic physics, chemistry and nanotechnology, researchers have identified a new physical phenomenon, electrostatic rotation, that, in the ...

Over 8,000 people explored hands-on science experiments, from robotic arms to liquid nitrogen ice cream, at CSU's Little Shop of Physics open house.

We investigate the domain of electrostatic dust charging at variable pressures for applications to dusty plasmas in various industries including space sciences and semiconductor manufacturing. Dr.

George Miley has been researching nuclear fusion propulsion and has designs for inertial electrostatic space ships. This article previously discussed the funding of an organization that is ...

If you rub two identical balloons together, they both pick up a static charge. This behavior is strange and unexpected, but it’s been documented in the scientific literature. When our host George ...

Incredibly, for the first time, scientists have unraveled the mechanisms at play when rubbing a surface creates an electrical current, something that was first recorded in 600 BCE yet not fully ...
