A research team at Los Alamos National Laboratory recently found that the strength difference between two very high-frequency radio pulses in lightning is closely related to the altitude of the ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Israeli researchers promises to revolutionize wildfire prediction, with a particular focus on lightning-induced blazes that are growing ...

The Lake Tahoe area is now home to a network of sensors that detect lightning capable of starting a wildfire and report the hazard to firefighters in less than a minute. Lightning fires are some of ...

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 ...

More than 70 aircraft are struck by lightning every day. If you happen to be flying when a strike occurs, chances are you won’t feel a thing, thanks to lightning protection measures that are embedded ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made a new physics-based tool that can predict how lightning interacts with different airplane designs to help engineers better ...

Ruinous fires across the West often lead to smoke-filled days with flames tearing through large swaths of natural land. While most of these fires are started by people, many fires start because of ...
