  "textContent": "Environmental carbon coatings determine charge transfer direction between identical insulating materials, enabling control of static electricity in natural and experimental systems. When two microscopic particles collide, they can generate a tiny spark. This simple interaction may have helped supply the energy needed to start life on Earth. But when identical materials come into contact, what [...]",
