Ice, a common material, holds mysteries about its electrical behavior, with flexoelectricity potentially explaining ...

In storm clouds, ice does more than just float or fall—it might actually help generate electricity. A new study in Nature ...

The study published last month in the science journal, Nature Physics, explains how ice can produce electricity, similar to ...

Lightning has long terrified and fascinated scientists and non-scientists alike. For something so relatively common, the precise atmospheric events that give rise to a lightning strike have been ...

In brief: The process that creates lightning has never been precisely understood, but scientists know that ice plays a crucial role. New research into developing cold electrical components may have ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — After a soggy week in the Coastal Bend, not only did we see some heavy downpours but we saw some thunderstorms roll through too. What follows behind thunder? Of course, it's ...
