Scientists have shown that lightning-like bursts can be recreated in small blocks of solid materials in the lab.

The team of scientists didn't create a storm. Instead, they used mathematical calculations to simulate the science that creates a bolt of lightning.

Scientists have long understood why lightning forms, but the atomic processes at the core of the phenomenon have remained largely a mystery—especially the strange mechanics behind terrestrial ...

SEATTLE - An unusual combination of intense heat and prolific lightning in some areas this weekend could create "one of the most critical fire set-ups in years for Western Washington," the National ...
