Researchers have discovered a microscopic roundworm that uses electrostatic induction to launch itself onto flying insects.

A tiny worm that leaps high into the air — up to 25 times its body length — to attach to flying insects uses static electricity to perform this astounding feat, scientists have found.

Coulomb attraction, also known as electrostatic attraction, is a fundamental force that plays a crucial role in the interactions between nanoparticles. It is the attractive force experienced by ...

PPG introduced electrostatic coating application to the shipping industry just over a year ago, and the technique is designed to provide an increased transfer efficiency compared to airless spraying, ...

Ticks can be attracted across gaps of air much larger than themselves by the static their hosts naturally accumulate, likely making it much easier for the creatures to latch onto hosts, University of ...

Although the basic concept of electrostatic attraction has been known since ancient times, it was only in the 17th century that scientists began to systematically investigate electrostatics. One of ...
