What steps can be taken to mitigate lightning strikes on future aircraft designs? This is what a recent study published in IEEE Access hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated new ...

Lightning is a powerful force, one seemingly capable of great destruction in the right circumstances. It announces itself with a searing flash, followed by a deep rumble heard for miles around.

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 ...

Lightning has captivated scientists for centuries, but despite extensive research, the precise atmospheric conditions that trigger a lightning strike within thunderclouds have remained a profound ...
