Electricity is naturally unpredictable, typically requiring wires and circuits for control. However, researchers in Europe and Canada have successfully directed sparks through open air and around obstacles using ultrasound waves. In open air, electricity naturally spreads in unpredictable directions—much like a lightning bolt. Its path is influenced by slight variations in air density, charge distribution,
