Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. At first glance, it’s a wonder that parasitic nematodes exist at all. To reproduce, these minuscule creatures—roughly the size of ...

A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design to pull useful power out of static electricity. The latest experiments pair ...

Electrostatic discharges pose significant flash fire and explosion threat to industrial facilities handling flammable/explosible gases, liquids, and powders (dusts). This webinar focuses on the ...

Could detecting static electricity be a factor in explaining why treehopper insects have evolved such bizarre body shapes? That is the hypothesis put forward in a new research paper published in ...

Butterflies and moths collect so much static electricity whilst in flight, that pollen grains from flowers can be pulled by static electricity across air gaps of several millimeters or centimeters.

The demand for energy is ever-increasing across various industries. In recent decades, scientists have explored the electrostatic potential of ...

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.
