A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design to pull useful power out of static electricity. The latest experiments pair ...

A tiny worm turns static electricity into a powerful weapon, launching itself through the air to catch flying prey.

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

George Miley has been researching nuclear fusion propulsion and has designs for inertial electrostatic space ships. This article previously discussed the funding of an organization that is ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Physicists have directly observed, for the first time, how highly charged dust-sized particles attract and capture others to build up clusters particle by particle. This process can lead to the ...

An unassuming pile of black graphite bricks containing uranium became known famously as Chicago Pile 1, the world’s first human-created, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. Eighty years later, ...
