Seemingly random charging of identical materials depends on the carbonaceous molecules stuck to their surfaces ...

A microscopic layer of environmental carbon solves a long-standing mystery about static electricity's true origins.

Static electricity may seem simple. Students often learn that rubbing a balloon against their hair will cause negatively ...

There’s a shocking lack of understanding of the physics underlying this commonplace phenomenon, but researchers are on the ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed CarGAP, a chemo-optogenetic tool that uses vitamin B₁₂ and green light to precisely control gap junctions, the ...

When high-voltage electricity breaks out in open air, it rips through the atmosphere, forming chaotic, branching fingers of electric plasma. These electrical arcs are difficult to control. They branch ...

The familiar phenomenon has puzzled researchers for centuries, but experiments are finally making sense of its unruly behaviours.

Watch a high-voltage electric experiment with shocking results! See batteries and devices tested under extreme voltage, ...

Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertically stacked transistor that eliminates current leakage at nanoscale channel lengths, advancing low-power 3D chip integration.

A recent breakthrough in electrode technology addresses one of the key limitations of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries—namely, their relatively short driving distance. Researchers from UNIST, in ...

What the research is about When an electric current flows through a metal, voltage normally appears only along the ...

At Georgia Tech, we turn deep science into therapies that could give people back what matters most. Memory isn't just stored in the brain. It's woven into who we are. Georgia Tech researchers explain ...
