⚡ The Science Behind Static Electricity 🔬

Static electricity is not just a spark—it’s a fascinating physical phenomenon with applications in materials science and energy harvesting.

New research on triboelectric charging is uncovering the true mechanisms behind this effect, challenging long-held assumptions.

When you send #electronic components in the mail, don’t use shrink wrap. One of these used DIMMs once inserted turned out to be broken and refused by an #hp #server. #esd #electrostatics #DIMM #DIMMsAreNotHam

This is turning a few concepts inside-out. I was so overjoyed to see a #cormorant on the lake by which I live, a few weeks ago - first #waterbird of the season!

Plus I once calculated that the *capacitive* ac currents through the legs of #birds perched on eht cables would be enough to electrocute them without any return path for the current. Maybe the #powerlines are off, and the #birds sense the electric field or its absence before perching? But near #Tokyo? I've only seen them perched on the earthed stay cable at the very top of the tower, on lines that I know are on. #physics #electrostatics

One of my favorite tools to use in the UO #Coffee Lab is the Malvern particle size analyzer which can characterize particles with sizes in the range of 10-2000 μm. I've used one like this extensively to measure #volcanic ash grains. Today, however, I am working with a (quite bad) medium roast coffee, exploring controls on particle agglutination. Turns out the processes that control volcanic ash aggregation and coffee clumping are pretty similar (i.e. #water and #electrostatics). #espresso

Water drops in #motion have a little something that is fascinating 💧😵‍💫

This phenomenon may look simple, but #researchers have just discovered the missing force that explains how drops of water move on surfaces.
