The difficulty with this, they explain, is that while lightning radio frequency signals can be mapped using ground sensors ...

When researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory visualized data from the first few nanoseconds of a lightning, they ...

Xuan-Min Shao and his engineering team at Los Alamos National Laboratory may not literally be trying to capture lightning in a bottle, but what they’re doing is not far from that. Shao and his team of ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Cosmic-ray showers, consisting of high-energy particles from space, appear to play a significant role in triggering lightning flashes. Observations using a 3D ...

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective barrier against the majority of these cosmic rays, and there is a measurable increase in radiation as you gain altitude and enter space. In space ...

Want to see cosmic rays? You might need a lot of expensive exotic gear. Nah. [The ActionLab] shows how a cup of coffee or cocoa can show you cosmic rays — or something — with just the right ...

A star from dozens of lightyears away was to blame for what would soon happen. Cosmic rays from a nearby supernova would soon rain down on the unsuspecting cichlids, tearing apart their DNA ...

The difficulty with this, they explain, is that while lightning radio frequency signals can be mapped using ground sensors from any direction, the cosmic rays cannot. Instead, they could come from ...
