Co-workers tried to revive the Coopersville man, but he was declared dead at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids.
The accident happened at a house in Wright Township, about 145 miles west-northwest of Detroit.

Physicists Just Achieved Conduction of Electricity at Close to The Speed of Light
LONDON - When it comes to data transfer and computing, the faster we can shift electrons and conduct electricity the better – and scientists have just been able to transport electrons at sub-femtosecond speeds (less than one quadrillionth of a second) in an experimental setup.
The trick is manipulating the electrons with light waves that are specially crafted and produced by an ultrafast laser. It might be a long while before this sort of setup makes it into your laptop, but the fact they pulled it off promises a significant step forward in terms of what we can expect from our…
