For a recent paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers investigated the odd physics of a ...

To reproduce, these minuscule creatures—roughly the size of a pinpoint—must leap 25 times their body length and land on a flying insect as it zooms overhead. Given that wind, gravity and air ...

The paper, recently published in the journal PNAS, found that roundworms can use static electricity to leap up to 25 times ...

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

In his home laboratory, Phil – a high school chemistry teacher who also runs a YouTube science channel – discovered that a simple solar panel can ...

Imagine a world without the glow of your screen, the hum of your fridge, or the instant communication across continents.

A parasitic worm uses static electricity to launch itself onto flying insects, a mechanism uncovered by physicists and ...

Microscopic parasitic worms use static electricity to pull themselves toward flying insects, turning physics into a powerful ...

This experiment demonstrates how static electricity can “remember” previous charges, revealing surprising properties of electrical interactions and material behavior. Nicole Kidman Files for Divorce ...

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 ...

The team from COSI stopped by Good Day Columbus to talk about static electricity in a "Hair-Raising" experiment. They also talked about new things to see at the museum once they reopen after their ...
