An antistatic agent is a compound used for treatment of materials or their surfaces in order to reduce or eliminate buildup of static electricity. Static charge may be generated by the triboelectric effect [1] or by a non-contact process using a high voltage power source. Static charge may be introduced on a surface as part of an in-mold label ...
An antistatic wrist strap, ESD wrist strap, or ground bracelet is an antistatic device used to safely ground a person working on very sensitive electronic equipment, to prevent the buildup of static electricity on their body, which can result in ESD.

An electrostatic-sensitive device (often abbreviated ESD) is any component (primarily electrical) which can be damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other non-conductors or semiconductors. [1] ESD commonly also stands for electrostatic discharge.
Static wicks on a Winglet Airbus A319-132. While the simple case of stroking a cat is familiar to many, there are other areas in modern technological civilization where triboelectricity is exploited or is a concern: Air moving past an aircraft can lead to a buildup of charge; aircraft typically have one or more static wicks to remove it.

For example, AGFA coats 200 million photographic films per year [citation needed] with a thin, extensively-stretched layer of virtually transparent and colorless PEDOT:PSS as an antistatic agent to prevent electrostatic discharges during production and normal film use, independent of humidity conditions, and as electrolyte in polymer ...
Northeast snowfall along the Interstate 95 Boston to Washington, D.C. corridor has been lacking in recent years. But on Dec. 19, 2009, 15 years ago today, the Northeast was in the midst of a major ...
Magnetostatics is even a good approximation when the currents are not static – as long as the currents do not alternate rapidly. Magnetostatics is widely used in applications of micromagnetics such as models of magnetic storage devices as in computer memory .
