Sentences with phrase «create electrostatic»

Using copper coils buried underground, the device would create an electrostatic field, which would attract smog particles down from the sky, similarly to how hair is attracted to a balloon.

Due to electrostatic forces, the sheets create electrostatic resistance in one direction but not in the other.

As soon as a gecko's toe pad touched a surface, the pad became positively charged and the surface became negatively charged, creating an electrostatic attraction.

Research in the UCR School of Medicine laboratory of David Lo found that certain cells of the epithelium have a potentially important role in immune surveillance — creating an electrostatic repulsion field to microbial invasion.

Not exact matches

Charge separation on peptides creates permanent dipole moments that can be aligned with an electric field to provide optimal orientation of the molecules and the amount of peptide immobilised can also be tuned by the electrostatic interactions when the peptides have an overall charge.

The charging may create sparking, or electrostatic breakdown, and this «breakdown weathering» process has possibly changed the very nature of the moon's polar soil, suggesting that permanently shadowed regions, which hold clues to our solar system's past, may be more active than previously thought.

However, when the pairing of a rare - earth element and an oxygen vacancy is created in the material, this pair possesses a positive net charge and therefore, inhibits the trapping of protons due to the electrostatic repulsive interaction.

«This experiment is remarkable because the magnetic forces created by the nuclei are millions of times smaller than the electrostatic forces that usually drive currents,» yet they were able to control currents, he says.

Winfried Michaelis's group in Brunswick, Germany, creates an electric field by means of two electrostatic generators to hold one end of a crossbar in place while the other end (not shown) is subjected to a minute gravitational tug.

This finding, along with a few other papers last year, emphasizes the importance of electrostatic interactions for protein stability, he says, and will enable protein chemists to create more stable protein - based drugs.

Why It Matters: Generally hidden from our perception without advanced scientific instrumentation, electrostatic forces attract fine bits of particulates that cement onto surfaces, creating costly problems.

Efforts to create better materials with predictable surface properties have led scientists to study the electrostatic forces that attract particulates to surface coatings.

Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are the most widely used particulate control technology and use an electrical field to create a charge on particles in the flue gas in order to attract them to collecting plates.

Can you (emphasis on you) prove that the presence of any field (gravitational, electrostatic, or whatever you like) can create a situation where internal energy is equal everywhere even though the temperature is not?

In a planar magnetic setup, the part that actually creates sound is an electrostatic - style thin, flexible material sandwiched between the outer layers of the mechanism.

As Shure's engineers discovered essentially by accident, confining electrostatic drivers into a tight space — with just the right tweak of physics — creates a soundstage unlike anything else.

We eluded to the wild world of electrostatic drivers in the intro, but let's do a crash - course review for those who aren't yet intimate with the technology: Most in - ear headphones use one of two driver technologies: dynamic drivers, which are essentially micro-sized versions of the speakers in your home, or balanced armature drivers, which are extremely tiny tubes (armatures) wrapped in a voice coil that vibrates when electrified, again, creating sound.

Electrostatic drivers are a bit more elegant in design, composed of a razor - thin membrane suspended between two electrified plates that use static electricity (hence the name) to create sound waves.
