After Going Centuries Without Answers, Scientists Finally Cracked How Static Electricity Works
Scientists have finally figured out the core mechanism behind static electricity. First discovered in 600 B.C., the ...
Hungry ticks have some slick tricks. They can zoom through the air using static electricity to latch onto people, pets and other animals, new research shows. Humans and animals naturally pick up ...
Static electricity was first observed in 600 BC, but researchers have struggled to explain how it is caused by rubbing. With a better understanding of the mechanisms at play, researchers potentially ...
“We knew that many animals, including humans, can accumulate quite significant electrostatic charges,” said Dr. Sam England, who is a postdoctoral scientist at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, but ...
NEW YORK — Hungry ticks have some slick tricks. They can zoom through the air using static electricity to latch onto people, pets and other animals, new research shows. Humans and animals naturally ...
“We already knew that many species of animal[s] accumulate static electricity as they fly, most likely through friction with the air,” study co-author and University of Bristol biologist Sam England ...
