Partly to compensate for rust problems on the 1957 models and partly to ensure that their Unibody cars would remain safe, as rust was a larger problem when body panels were required for strength, Chrysler pioneered the use
of electrostatic charges to improve anti-rust agent adhesion in their 1960 models.
One reason is the metal flake to make it silver will lay differently depending on the state
of electrostatic charge.

Huge densities and temperatures (millions
of degrees, hotter even than the Sun's core) are required to overcome the
electrostatic repulsion between the positively
charged nuclei involved.
The tumbling action
of the dryer causes fabrics to rub against each other and build up
electrostatic charges.

charge of nanoparticles enabled
electrostatic interactions with therapeutics thus resulting in the slow release
of therapeutics.»

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.
While the strong sigma or covalent bonds were explained by the new theories
of quantum mechanics, hydrogen bonds were seen as nothing more than an
electrostatic attraction between
charged particles and were explained according the principles
of classical physics.
We were able to replicate this process in a biologically - reasonable way in the lab by controlling the
electrostatic charge of the molecules that form our synthetic liquid organelles.
These somewhat contradictory theories, none
of which is universally valid for all cases, have now been unified by Oehzelt and developed into a single coherent model based on the
electrostatic potential caused by the
charge carriers in the metal and the organic semiconductor.
After each run they dumped the particles out
of the tube and through a device that measured the particles» accumulated individual
electrostatic charges.
«This would be
electrostatic charging on steroids,» says co-author Joe Dufek, a professor
of Earth and atmospheric sciences at Georgia Tech.
But
electrostatic charging could also occur between microscopic particles
of smog in Titan's air, allowing the particles to glom together, grow and precipitate to its surface.
«These non-silicate, granular materials can hold their
electrostatic charges for days, weeks or months at a time under low - gravity conditions,» said George McDonald, a graduate student in the School
of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences who also co-authored the paper.
Recently, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's (PNNL's) Hongfei Wang collaborated with a team
of researchers from Northwestern University (NU) to dramatically advance the ability to study the
electrostatic charges of surfaces.
The team's innovative laser - based technique now allows researchers to predict how a surface's
electrostatic charge might attract particulates with opposite
charges, decreasing the buildup
of what NU's Franz Geiger calls «crud.»
These binding events can be impaired by the
electrostatic repulsion
of the negatively
charged cell with the virus.
Altius Space Machines is currently developing a robotic arm system it calls a «sticky boom», which can extend up to 100 meters, and uses electroadhesion to induce
electrostatic charges onto any material (metal, plastics, glass, even asteroids) it comes into contact with, and then clamp onto the object because
of the difference in
charges.
Electrostatic precipitators use electrically
charged plates that attract and pull particulates out
of the combustion gas.
