It’s the cold cloud with freezing precipitation that dominates our weather for most of the year on the Canadian Prairies.

Lord Kelvin’s Thunderstorm is build around the concept of water droplets falling through inductors. Two streams of water fall from small holes in reservoirs at the top. Those streams fall ...

In a new study, researchers in Singapore describe a way to turn falling water into electricity using nothing more than ...

Raindrops may seem harmless as they slide down windows or trickle through gutters. But inside each drop lies a powerful ...

“The big droplets are positively charged ... ‘Blue Marble’ to describe the Earth from space. Perhaps the falling of water, the most crucial element that sustains us, also played a greater ...

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. This is how rubbing a balloon on the skin creates static electricity. Likewise, water flowing over some ...

According to the group, splashing can be prevented altogether if a water drop falling on a hard surface is electrically charged. The findings were published in Physical Review Letterson April 1.
