Ordinarily, water is used to clean off the layer of dust that continuously accumulates on solar panels. In arid regions, however, doing so can be challenging. A new system addresses this problem, by ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a lab-scale solar module cleaning system prototype that uses electrostatic repulsion to cause dust particles to detach and ...

A new study published in Nature Nanotechnology has shown that long-range attraction between similarly charged particles in solution is possible. Remarkably, the group also discovered that, depending ...

Without Mg 2+ ions, the negatively charged nucleosome fiber is stretched by electrostatic repulsion (left). Mg 2+ can eliminate the repulsion and promote nucleosome-nucleosome binding (center) and ...

Study demonstrates how charge engineering can deactivate competing reaction pathways to boost ammonia electrosynthesis ...
