There's a reason you may notice it more in the winter. Excess static electricity is always a shock to the system—literally—but if you're experiencing shocks more so than not, annoying is an ...

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

Northwestern University scientists have made a new contribution to understanding a long-standing phenomenon called static electricity. In their most recent research, the researchers found that such ...

Avoid, Dissipate, Neutralize, Protect. ADNP is the mantra of ESD engineers. Electrostatic discharge, the so-called unseen killer, can be successfully controlled through a series of well-understood ...

Insects have been known to sense and tap into electric fields, but new research shows that swarms can actually produce atmospheric electric charges. By measuring the extent of this influence, the ...

Ticks can be attracted across air gaps several times larger than themselves by the static electricity that their hosts naturally accumulate, researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered.
