ERCScientists uncover missing link in static electricity mysteryFor centuries, static electricity has sparked curiosity and confusion. Now, a new study by researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) reveals that a material’s contact history determines how it exchanges charge—a discovery that could finally bring order to the long-standing enigma of contact electrification. The new findings challenge previous assumptions about randomness in static electricity and offer fresh insights into energy harvesting, materials science, and electrostatics.
