A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

There's a reason you may notice it more in the winter. Excess static electricity is always a shock to the system—literally—but if you're experiencing shocks more so than not, annoying is an ...

New research shows that ticks can use static electricity to latch onto people or animals. The study in the journal Current Biology says the static charge given off by potential hosts can attract ticks ...

Northwestern University scientists have made a new contribution to understanding a long-standing phenomenon called static electricity. In their most recent research, the researchers found that such ...

Avoid, Dissipate, Neutralize, Protect. ADNP is the mantra of ESD engineers. Electrostatic discharge, the so-called unseen killer, can be successfully controlled through a series of well-understood ...

Whether you're building a new computer from the ground up or replacing components in your Xbox, you'll need to ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your computer's ...

Ticks can be attracted across air gaps several times larger than themselves by the static electricity that their hosts naturally accumulate, researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered.
