Franklin's kite experiment helped identify the electric nature of lightning and the transfer of electrical charge. The Apple ...

In 1953, scientist Stanley Miller performed an experiment that may explain what occurred on primitive Earth billions of years ago. He sent an electrical charge through a flask of a chemical ...

And it’s all because of static electricity. Static electricity is a build up of electric charge on an object, and it can have some pretty strange effects. See, everything around us is made up of ...

Mites who hitchhike on the beaks of hummingbirds use a surprising method to help them on their journey: electricity. These hummingbird flower mites feed on nectar and live within specific flowers for ...

Would you say that the balloon and the plastic are attracted to each other or repelled (pushed away) by each other? The balloon and the plastic must have the same static electric charge. Since objects ...

then validate it in a unique experiment that will help predict the lifespan of electric thrusters. "We can simulate the damage to the engine caused by sputtering, but until now, we could not ...
