This project worked toward developing a new generation of semiconductors by combining silicon and gallium arsenic perfect-crystal formation and static-induction control technologies. Static induction ...

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 key to the Wimshurst machine’s operation lies in a process called electrostatic induction, which is essentially the influence that a charged object can exert on nearby objects, even without ...

To overcome the above technology constraints, Professor Wang and his team successfully developed a multi-functional droplet electrostatic tweezer that uses electrostatic induction to "attract" and ...

The static induction transistor was responsible for getting Yamaha into semiconductor manufacturing. Invented by a professor at Tohoku University, Jun’ichi Nishizawa, SITs had the advantage over other ...
