Scientists discover smart way to generate energy with tiny plastic beads

An international team of researchers has discovered a new method to generate electricity using small plastic beads. By placing these beads close together and bringing them into contact, they generate more electricity than usual. This process, known as triboelectrification, is similar to the static electricity produced when rubbing a balloon against hair.

On a lighter note, was reading an interesting #Wikipedia article that referenced the #triboelectric effect, commonly known as static electricity.

Thought the lede example pic was apropos for a #Caturday post. Kinda how life feels right now.
