This silicon photonic sensor effectively monitors spacecraft charging, and researchers hope it will reduce electrostatic discharge failures, improve satellite reliability.

Unlike traditional lab-based methods, the GranuCharge AL provides instant access to the charge per mass measurement thanks to its integrated load cell combined with a Faraday cup connected to a highly ...

A team of researchers has developed a gel electret capable of stably retaining a large electrostatic charge. The team then combined this gel with highly flexible electrodes to create a sensor capable ...
