Found in a mudflat off the coast of Oregon, this organism’s electricity-conducting abilities could make it ideal for ...

“The moisture in the air acts as a conductive path for static electricity to dissipate,” Bell says. “Without this moisture, the electrons build up on the skin and cause a greater risk for ...

These static shocks happen more often in winters because the air is typically drier than the summer air. The humidity levels in the air aid in dispersing the electrical charge from your body.

Electrets produce a semi-permanent static electric field ... and kept arcing across, which causes the electric charge to drop off. Moving the aluminum electrodes the inner surfaces of the mold ...

Static electricity often just seems like an everyday ... polished metal sphere that often causes hair to stand on end when a person touches it. The Van de Graaff generator works by transferring ...

Static electricity is a build up of electric charge ... Negative charge flowing into the pie cases causes them to repel one another. But without any way for the charge to escape, it builds up ...
