Researchers found a way to harness the fundamental properties of triboelectrification, which most people think of it as ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto ...

Don’t you hate in the winter time when someone comes up to you and “shocks” you? In this week’s Sunday Science Tidbit, we’re going to talk about static electricity. Static electricity is the result of ...

Static electricity often just seems like an everyday annoyance when a wool sweater crackles as you pull it off, or when a doorknob delivers an unexpected zap. Regardless, the phenomenon is much more ...

You may have already noticed, but static electricity is becoming more noticeable as temperatures fall. Cold air is more dense ...

Researchers have engineered an electrostatic face mask that can 'self-charge' through the user's breathing and continuously replenish its electrostatic charge as the user wears and breathes through ...

Scientists developed a new model, which shows that rubbing two objects together produces static electricity, or triboelectricity, by bending the tiny protrusions on the surface of materials. Most ...
