Nuclear physics usually involves high energies, as illustrated by experiments to master controlled nuclear fusion. One of the problems is how to overcome the strong electrical repulsion between atomic ...

The humble membranes that enclose our cells have a surprising superpower: They can push away nano-sized molecules that happen to approach them. A team including scientists at the National Institute of ...

A method to manipulate and control droplets on a surface is presented. The method is based on inducing electric dipoles inside the droplets using a homogeneous external electric field. It is shown ...

DR. GOLDSTEIN has devoted a good part of the last ten years to an investigation of the discharge of electricity through gases, and amongst the many phenomena which he has brought to light, the one ...
