Lightning discharges represent one of nature’s most dramatic electrical phenomena, providing a dynamic window into the complex interplay between atmospheric electrical fields and discharge processes.

Scientists have captured glowing treetops during thunderstorms for the first time ever, revealing hidden electrical ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - From tingling skin to hair standing on end, Mother Nature gives us a warning that lightning is ...

Scientists chasing thunderstorms in a retrofitted minivan finally captured something never seen before in nature: faint ...

The leaves on trees can respond to thunderstorms overhead with tiny electrical discharges of their own, according to scientists at Penn State. The weak discharges, called corona, collectively generate ...

In the early 2000s, scientists observed lightning discharge producing X-rays comprising high energy photons—the same type used for medical imaging. Researchers could recreate this phenomenon in the ...

The study presents the first in-situ evidence of electrical activity in the Martian atmosphere, identifying 55 distinct triboelectric discharge events. These electrical discharges, unlike terrestrial ...

A new study published in AGU Advances reveals that lightning inside Jupiter’s towering storms carries energies that dwarf ...

Dust on Mars has a new voice. What once looked like silent red storms now crackles with tiny sparks, as if the planet were whispering with electricity right under your feet. For the first time, ...
