Unlocking the Secrets of Static Electricity: A Breakthrough in Understanding Contact Electrification
Physicists in Austria have made a groundbreaking discovery in understanding static electricity, also known as contact electrification or triboelectrification. Led by Juan Carlos Sobarzo and Scott Waitukaitis, the team found that the static electricity acquired by identical material samples can evolve differently over time, based on each sample’s history of contact with other samples. This…
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Washington in Seattle have successfully used artificial intelligence (AI) to design brand-new enzymes that can perform multi-step reactions. The new enzymes, which were 60,000 times more efficient than previously designed ones, have the potential to revolutionize various biological and industrial processes, including plastic recycling….
