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.

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 ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

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 ...

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.
