摘要
This paper announces the discovery that a statically charged object gains weight, equal to approximately 7 × 10<sup>-11</sup> grams per excess electron when the object is negatively charged and 5 × 10<sup>-11</sup> grams per excess proton when positively charged. The weight gain is not instantaneous but increases to a maximum and then decays with the excess charge.
