The building blocks of life on Earth may have been fueled by tiny sparks hopping between water droplets. Four billion years ...

Study discovered that tiny electrical sparks, called microlightning, form when water droplets collide. These can create ...

Forget the dramatic lightning strike – life may have started with countless tiny sparks from crashing water droplets!

Now MIT scientists have taken high-speed videos of droplets splashing into a deep pool, to track how the fluid evolves, above and below the water line, frame by millisecond frame. Their work could ...

A Stanford study shows that electrical charges in sprays of water can cause chemical reactions that form organic molecules from inorganic materials. The findings provide evidence that microlightning ...
