We finally have an answer: The beginning and the end of the sliding motion that produces static electricity experience different forces – resulting in a charge differential between the front and the back that results in the crackle of static electricity.

Miracles!
A long-sought invisible force wrapped around Earth has been detected more than half a century after it was first hypothesized. The field, dubbed the "polar wind," explains how Earth's atmosphere escapes easily and rapidly above the north and south poles, and may have played a role in shaping our planet's thin upper atmosphere.

From what I gather, past insulator discoveries allowed electron flow in three or two dimensions, but this new discovery only allows flow in one dimension. I think of it like plumbing, where you have a tee, and the water (electrons) travel through the pipe in three directions (dimensions). Restricting the flow of electrons allows for better focus/flow, which makes for more precise electronic engineering methods.
An EE might be able to elaborate better than my crappy plumbing analogy.
Scientists have identified a one-dimensional topological insulator that could revolutionize quantum computing and solar cell efficiency. This groundbreaking discovery paves the way for advancements in quantum computing and solar cell efficiency.

Mmm, my order of favorite Ween albums would be Chocolate and Cheese, Quebec, White Pepper.
But Mollusk has some bangers on it too (Buckingham Green).
Why yes, yes I am down with the brown.

I have noticed a similar behavior on one of my machines recently. Usually it's a video (or recently played Spotify song) that gets 'stuck' there. Have you tried opening a new instance of Firefox, playing a video, then lock the computer (win + L) to see if it- at the very least- changes/updates to the newly opened video?
