Re: FUTURE
There is certainly plenty of opportunity for this to lead to more work in the future.
You have touched on one of the basic principles used in all electronic devices today: you iPad, you smart phone, the TV you watch, the computer you used to send this question to us.
The manipulation of electrical charges inside a computer chip is what makes it work. Even devices that don't use computer chips, or digital electronics, still depend on electric charges. The spark that ignites the gasoline inside the engine of your family car depends on electrical charges. Many paper copy machines use electric charges to make their copies.
The world of charges is very, very large. Once you get involved in studying them, you will be amazed what the future might hold.
