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 ...

Blood-sucking ticks might be even clingier than we thought. Recent research has found that at least one tick species seems to use static electricity to help itself grapple onto potential hosts. The ...

Zaps of static electricity are commonplace in everyday life. But can static electricity give enough of a jolt to start a fire? Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and ...
