So. If the thrust generated by these electrostatic ”propulsion” systems is real, what does it push against?

Earth’s magnetic field comes to mind. Surely electric fields won’t push against some kind of structure of space?

I guess we don’t actually know, which is super interesting.

It’s probably going to not give interstellar propulsion, but new #physics is always exciting!

⚡ The Science Behind Static Electricity 🔬

Static electricity is not just a spark—it’s a fascinating physical phenomenon with applications in materials science and energy harvesting.

New research on triboelectric charging is uncovering the true mechanisms behind this effect, challenging long-held assumptions.

One of my favorite tools to use in the UO #Coffee Lab is the Malvern particle size analyzer which can characterize particles with sizes in the range of 0.1-2000 μm. I've used one like this extensively to measure #volcanic ash grains. Today, however, I am working with a (quite bad) medium roast coffee, exploring controls on particle agglutination. Turns out the processes that control volcanic ash aggregation and coffee clumping are pretty similar (i.e. #water and #electrostatics). #espresso

RT @CORDIS_EU: Water drops in #motion have a little something that is fascinating 💧😵‍💫

This phenomenon may look simple, but #researchers have just discovered the missing force that explains how drops of water move on surfaces.
