In fact, static electricity is direct observable evidence of the actions of subatomic particles and the charges they carry. While zaps from a fuzzy carpet or playground slide are funny ...

the researchers found a way to describe static charge atom-by-atom with the mathematics of heat and work. Their paper, "Thermodynamic driving forces in contact electrification between polymeric ...

Electrets produce a semi-permanent static electric field ... which causes the electric charge to drop off. Moving the aluminum electrodes the inner surfaces of the mold eventually produced ...

Discover the fascinating world of static electricity through simple balloon experiments. You'll learn how static charges build up through friction, how they attract or repel objects, and see everyday ...

Zare’s team demonstrated the existence of micro-lightning, very small electricity discharges that occur between tiny droplets ...

Rub the end of the balloon on your hair or shirt. Pulling the tape from the roll causes electrons to be stripped off the tape, giving both strips a positive charge. When two objects have the same ...

“The electrical charge will create an attraction force between the dust particles and the glass due to static charge causing dust accumulation over PV modules,” the researchers explaine ...

And it’s all because of static electricity. Static electricity is a build up of electric charge on an object, and it can have some pretty strange effects. See, everything around us is made up of ...
