A tiny worm turns static electricity into a powerful weapon, launching itself through the air to catch flying prey.

As space junk continues to multiply around our planet, threatening satellites and space missions, a new breakthrough proposes a non-contact solution that uses electrostatic forces to gently move ...

A parasitic worm uses static electricity to launch itself onto flying insects, a mechanism uncovered by physicists and biologists at Emory and Berkeley. By generating opposite charges, the worm and ...
