Quasi-Static Pull-in: an Instability in Electrostatic Actuators [PDF]
, 2020 We identify a new instability in electrostatic actuators dubbed quasi-static pull-in. We report experimental evidence of the instability and study its characteristics in two types of micro actuators operating in ambient air.

Excitation of plasma waves by unstable photoelectron and thermal electron populations on closed magnetic field lines in the Martian ionosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2005 It is argued that anisotropic electron pitch angle distributions in the closed magnetic field regions of the Martian ionosphere gives rise to excitation of plasma instabilities.

Demonstration of static electricity induced luminescence
Scientific Reports, 2022 Can we visualise static electricity, which everyone in the world knows about? Since static electricity is generated by contact or peeling, it may be a source of malfunction of electronic components, whose importance is steadily increasing, and even cause

Voltage and Deflection Amplification via Double Resonance Excitation in a Cantilever Microstructure
Sensors, 2019 Cantilever electrostatically-actuated resonators show great promise in sensing and actuating applications. However, the electrostatic actuation suffers from high-voltage actuation requirements and high noise low-amplitude signal-outputs which limit its ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Electrostatic and mechanical characterization of 3-D micro-wineglass resonators [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper, we present methods for characterization of 3-D micro-wineglass resonators. Two interchangeable modes of excitation are demonstrated: (1) Mechanical pinging using a piezo actuated probe assembly and (2) electrostatic excitation using ...
