The secrets of static electricity are finally being revealed
Nevertheless, the authors observed that contact electrification occurs, with one surface becoming positively charged and the other negatively charged. Charge transfer between ‘identical ...
Water movement on surfaces makes more electric charge than expected
Researchers have discovered that water generates an electrical charge up to 10 times greater than previously understood when it moves across a surface. The team observed when a water droplet became ...
