In a nutshell Water droplets create “microlightning” when they split, producing electrical discharges without any external ...

Study discovered that tiny electrical sparks, called microlightning, form when water droplets collide. These can create ...

Scientists have discovered that water moving over surfaces generates significantly more electrical charge than previously believed, particularly when it sticks and then slips past tiny obstacles. This ...

Forget the dramatic lightning strike – life may have started with countless tiny sparks from crashing water droplets! Scientists found that when mist and sprays collide, they generate microlightning ...

Zare’s team demonstrated the existence of micro-lightning, very small electricity discharges that occur between tiny droplets ...

Researchers may have just found a way to establish a renewable water resource in one of the driest places in the world. Using ...

Researchers have discovered that water generates an electrical charge up to 10 times greater than previously understood when it moves across a surface. The team observed when a water droplet became ...

When water falls from a cloud, it is precipitation. Liquid precipitation is rain or freezing rain. If the drops are smaller ...

Droplets bouncing off surfaces are an everyday phenomenon, like raindrops bouncing off lotus leaves or water drops sizzling in a hot pan, levitating and sliding around—aka the Leidenfrost effect.

Life may not have begun with a dramatic lightning strike into the ocean but from many smaller "microlightning" exchanges ...
