Static electricity has baffled scientists for centuries. Can new research solve the puzzle? This familiar phenomenon has puzzled researchers for centuries, but experiments are finally making sense of its unruly behaviors

#triboelectricity or #staticelectricity is far from a simple phenomenon that abides by one clear-cut set of rules…

🔬 Could the movement of our organs produce electricity?

Meet Dr Elena Del Corro as she explains #triboelectricity and how combining it with graphene electrodes could be key to treating #NeurologicalDiseases such as #epilepsy or depression in the future.

Static electricity could help run air conditioners An invention made from waste polystyrene that generates static electricity from motion and wind could lower power usage by recycling waste energy in air co

One of the 'cooler' things we do is #reforming packing foam to create porous materials that generate static electricity (a.k.a. #triboelectricity) from breath, sound, wind, or vibration.
