Scientists have discovered ultrathin diamond membranes can generate electricity. This occurs when these flexible diamond ...

Explore jaw-dropping high-voltage experiments with a Tesla transformer as we test an old Nokia phone, generate sparks, and demonstrate a mini Tesla lamp. See how electricity behaves, witness safe but ...

Scientists are largely clueless about the origins of static electricity. A quirky group of researchers aims to change that.

Bits of material levitating against gravity, a stream of water deflected by invisible means, sparks of light appearing out of thin air; with observations like those, it’s a wonder that the early ...

Invisibly to us, insects and other tiny creatures use static electricity to travel, avoid predators, collect pollen and more. New experiments explore how evolution may have influenced this phenomenon.
