A 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 may have ...

New Berlin’s Advanced Ionics is harnessing water vapor to make hydrogen production more sustainable and cost-effective.

Researchers have revealed the first three-dimensional (3D) map of the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way Galaxy ...

Primordial supernovae got the ball rolling a quick hundred million years or so after the start of the universe.

Researchers from Stanford University believe their new theory debunks the idea that a massive lightning strike in our ...

Forget the dramatic lightning strike – life may have started with countless tiny sparks from crashing water droplets! Scientists found that when mist and sprays collide, they generate microlightning ...

But real lightning would have struck infrequently—and mostly in open ocean, where organic compounds would have quickly ...

We may be starting to get a grasp on what kick-started life on Earth – and it could help us search for it on other planets ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the ...

America's most ambitious project has failed, and aircraft will be very different. Hydrogen could make flying greener, but ...

In their view, inorganic molecules might have reacted due to energy from the Sun or lightning strikes to form life’s building ...

Hydrogen from geological formations makes up about 10% of the flammable gases that form the Yanartaş flames near Cirali, ...
