With mass spectrometry imaging, chemists can create maps of the locations of biological molecules within tissues and cells. Unfortunately, the dominant imaging methods that exist today often require ...

The noncovalent forces that stabilize protein structures are not fully understood. One way to address this is to study equilibria between unfolded states and α-helices in peptides. Electrostatic ...

Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise ...

Pioneered almost 300 years ago by Benjamin Franklin, the basic science of electrostatics has generated recent advances that could soon lead to color laser printers that are cheaper and up to 70 ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tiny solid particles – like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders – form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical ...

Researchers from the University of Bayreuth have discovered the mechanism by which collagen, the most common protein in the human body, successfully assembles itself. They identified electrostatic ...

Clinging upside down to polished surfaces is simple for geckos, but scientists’ grasp of the underlying forces behind this phenomenal adherence just became murkier. Researchers report that the ...
