Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) represent a captivating class of high‐altitude optical phenomena that occur in tandem with thunderstorm activity. These brief and often spectacular discharges, ...

At the center of this achievement is the Photoelectric Feedback Discharge model, a complex simulation tool created to describe how lightning arises from the frenzied interaction of fields and ...

For decades, scientists treated Martian dust storms as mostly mechanical events, driven by wind and sunlight rather than crackling electricity. The first confirmed detection of tiny lightning-like ...

A small team of planetary scientists, astrophysicists and space flight researchers affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in France has made the first direct detection of atmospheric ...

A new study shows that traffic-related pollution in a major urban area in central Israel produces immediate, measurable changes in the atmospheric electric field, while particulate matter creates ...

Approximately 75 percent of electricity used in the United States is produced by coal-burning power plants that spew carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. To ...
