A high-speed photo of lightning rods at work during an electrical storm in São José dos Campos, Brazil, is helping scientists understand how the devices compete to attract strikes and keep buildings ...

Lightning is one of the most powerful forces on Earth, and try as we might, it’s tough to control... but not impossible. Early this year, a team of European scientists scaled the heights of human ...

Laser beams could one day be used as lightning rods to protect infrastructure. Our team tests, rates, and reviews more than 1,500 products each year to help you make better buying decisions and get ...

For as much destruction as lightning causes, you’d assume we would have found ways to better mitigate its effects. Lightning kills at least 4,000 people and causes billions of dollars in global ...

A group of scientists have created a high-power laser beam that they claim lightning will follow for a period of time. Physicists have published a new study in the scientific journal Nature Photonics ...
