What if the very principles that have powered industry for over a century were suddenly turned on their head? For decades, electromagnetic motors—reliant on copper windings and rare earth magnets—have ...

Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise over 80 mm, without magnets or high voltages. By exploiting the fluid’s ...
