A chemical reaction involving tiny flashes of light in water droplets may have laid the foundation for life on Earth.

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

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

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

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 ...

Life may not have begun with a dramatic lightning strike into the ocean but from many smaller “microlightning” exchanges among water droplets from crashing waterfalls or breaking waves.

At first, the photons settle into a state with zero momentum, but as this state 'fills up', pairs of photons begin to spill ...

Researchers in Australia have discovered that water generates an electrical charge up to 10 times greater than previously ...
