Traditional lightning rods will still do the trick for most instances, but laser alternatives could be used at spaceports and military bases.

Brazilian researchers captured on camera the brief moment when lightning rods on buildings released an upward discharge to attract incoming lightning.

Lightning rods that use laser beams can efficiently (and safely) guide bolts of lightning, preventing random strikes, scientists explain. Here’s how they work.

Thus, you’d need a large “farm” of lightning rods with some combination of a large amount of land area and tall rods. The laser-based scheme increases the capture area and decreases the rod height ...

In a mountaintop experiment, a laser beamed into the sky created a virtual lightning rod that snagged several bolts before they hit the ground.

A Lightning Rod in Grow a Garden is a useful, albeit a little rare, piece of equipment you can use to influence how a specific type of weather behaves in your garden. As you probably know, weather ...

Lightning rods have been used to guide lightning strikes for centuries, but now scientists have demonstrated something a bit more advanced than a humble metal stick. Beaming a high-powered laser ...

When Benjamin Franklin fashioned the first lightning rod in the 1750s following his famous experiment flying a kite with a key attached during a thunderstorm, the American inventor had no way of ...

Though being struck by lightning is usually bad, the tropical tree Dipteryx oleifera benefits. A strike kills other nearby trees and parasitic vines.

Lightning rods protect buildings by providing a low-resistance path for charges to flow between the clouds and the ground. But they only work if lightning finds that path first. The actual strike ...
