By studying how worms use electric charge to jump onto flies, scientists are showing even physical strategies are embedded in ...

A tiny worm that leaps high into the air—up to 25 times its body length—to attach to flying insects uses static electricity ...

What is Electrostatic Force Microscopy? Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that measures the electrostatic interactions between a conductive probe and a ...

You don’t need to touch a tick for it to find you, a new study suggests. The blood-sucking parasites may be able to catapult themselves from vegetation to their hosts thanks to static electricity.
