Description

(Jan 28, 2021) It's the reason opposites attract and doorknobs shock, why lightning strikes, and the way bumblebees find the sweet spot in flowers. Whenever an object has more or fewer electrons than its neighbor, there is the potential for static discharge.

Martha Foley and Dr. Curt Stager talk about the mysterious and hair-raising ways of static electricity.
