Electrorotation of colloidal particles and cells depends on surface charge

Biophysical Journal, 1997
The importance of surface conductivity to the frequency-dependent polarizability and the rotation of particles in circular electric fields (electrorotation) is emphasized by various theoretical and experimental investigations. Although surface conductivity seems to be naturally related to the ionic double layer, there is rare experimental evidence of a

Stable charged nanobubbles with distinct polarities in culture media differentially affect the viability of human iPSC-derived neurons

Scientific Reports
Nanobubbles (NBs) are gas-filled spherical structures less than 1 μm in diameter, characterized by high surface charge, long-term stability, and the ability to generate bactericidal hydroxyl radicals upon collapse. Although these unique properties enable
