Nematodes that leap from the ground to infect flies need the help of a static electrical charge to land on their host.

At some point in physics class, your teacher probably rubbed a balloon against his hair and explained static electricity. But what your teacher didn’t tell you—the full story about static ...

For a recent paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers investigated the odd physics of a ...

The parasitic roundworm Steinernema carpocapsae, which live in soil, are already known to leap some 25 times their body ...

By studying how worms use electric charge to jump onto flies, scientists are showing even physical strategies are embedded in ...

The differences between conductors and insulators are described. Introduction to Static Electricity: The differences between conductors and insulators are described. Students learn how a static charge ...

In high school physics classes, students are often taught that static electricity develops when electrons detach from the surface of one object and jump to another, causing a difference in charge.

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 ...

Tired of static cling? Discover my simple and effective ways for how to remove static from clothes using laundry hacks and ...

James Gibert, associate professor of mechanical engineering, and Hongcheng Tao, postdoctoral researcher, observe their test apparatus as it generates an electric charge by rubbing two surfaces ...
