Thunderstorms belong to a non-exhaustive list of surprisingly mundane things that we know surprisingly little about. Last ...
The team of scientists didn't create a storm. Instead, they used mathematic calculations to simulate the science that creates ...
Penn State researchers found that lightning-like discharges may occur inside materials such as glass and quartz, potentially ...
The scientific community long assumed that to understand how lightning works, one needed a ...
Lightning formation and the conditions triggering it have long been shrouded in a cloud of mystery, but new research led by Penn State scientists is lifting the fog. Using mathematical calculations, ...
SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - This episode is about lightning. We will use a balloon and a CFL lightbulb to explore static electricity. Static electricity is the movement of electrons between two objects, just ...
Physicists have long known how lightning ends, in a blinding discharge that can heat air hotter than the surface of the Sun, but the precise trigger that starts a bolt inside a cloud has remained ...
