When two smooth, slick surfaces are submerged in water and brought within 100 nanometers of each other, something odd happens: they adhere, even though they are too far apart
for electrostatic forces to bridge them.

Intramolecular
forces, which are still
electrostatic, but because they do contain a full charge (that +1
for protons size, -1
for electrons mentioned above) but only partial charges they are considerably weaker.
The team also demonstrated
for the first time that if the
electrostatic actuator delivers a small mechanical
force to the PMO that varies in time while the system undergoes these self - sustaining oscillations, the PMO can lock onto that tiny variable signal and greatly amplify it.
After accounting
for the
electrostatic repulsion and other
forces, they found that the remaining
force on the beads followed the
force law
for an ideal spring — whose
force is proportional to how far it is extended — to very high accuracy.
Nanocomp Technologies, Inc., a Concord, N.H. — based maker of carbon nanotube materials, said last this week the Air
Force selected the company as prime contractor
for the second phase of a larger program intended to find a substitute
for the nickel - based conductors currently used
for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and EMI shielding.
As Titan experiences one - seventh of the gravity we experience on Earth, the
electrostatic force in any structures composed of these particles — like dunes or sand castles — overcomes the
force of gravity, and they refuse to slump
for very long periods.
