In these gaps, we have discovered that systems don’t quite align, and people end up navigating workarounds instead of actual ...

To discharge the static electricity from the vehicle, drivers in those days came up with the idea to hang the rubber strips, aka anti-static straps, at the back of the vehicle.

Specifically, thanks to the phenomenon of friction, it generates static electricity, not unlike shuffling around a carpet in your socks.

To comprehend static electricity, we first need to explore the building blocks of matter, atoms. Every atom contains a dense nucleus at its core, made up of protons and neutrons, with electrons ...

We have. It seems to happen all the time. But why is that? We explore what static electricity is, why you can get a static shock from your car, and what you can do about it.

Static electricity—specifically the triboelectric effect, aka contact electrification—is ubiquitous in our daily lives, found in such things as a balloon rubbed against one's hair or styrofoam ...

THE small sparks due to static electricity, similar to those sometimes observed when combing the hair or walking over a thick carpet, have caused fires which cost industry an appreciable amount ...

The human body is a great conductor of electricity. All you need is some build-up of electrons on your skin from friction, and the next suitable thing you touch will cause a static discharge.

Researchers at RMIT University have discovered a way to create electricity from Styrofoam. Traditionally considered a major pollutant, Styrofoam is also apparently a surprising source of renewable ...
