Electrostatic motors are now common in MEMS applications, but researchers at the University of Wisconsin and spinoff C-Motive Technologies have brought macroscale electrostatic motors back.

The scientists cuff the medium to electroscopes and galvanometers, studying infinitesimal changes in the orientation of her muscles, in the air of the room. They witness the curtains in the room ...

Radiations & Flesh. To guard against injury from radiations in the vicinity of the cyclotron, Dr. Lawrence’s crew carry small electroscopes in their pockets which they discharge into a meter at ...

As the atmosphere grew thinner and thinner, Hess, with his two-man crew, stared through the eyepieces of two electroscopes. He carefully counted how frequently the electroscope’s hanging fibres lifted ...

The frog galvanoscope was a sensitive electrical instrument used to detect voltage [1] in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It consists of a skinned frog's leg with electrical connections to a nerve.
