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

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

A tiny worm that leaps high into the air — up to 25 times its body length — to attach to flying insects uses static electricity to perform this astounding feat, scientists have found.

But new research shows there’s another force working to their advantage: static electricity. At human scale, static electricity is little more than a curiosity. You walk across the carpet, friction ...
