'Mini-Lightning': NASA Rover Detects Electrical Discharges On Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover has obtained evidence that the atmosphere of Mars is electrically active, detecting electrical discharges - what one scientist called "mini-lightning" - often associated with whirlwinds called dust devils

Mars Dust Devils May Spark Lightning, Might Pose Risks to Rovers: Study
A new computer-modeling study reveals that dust devils on Mars—swirling columns of dust and air—may become electrically charged enough to spark lightning-like discharges. Led by researcher Varun Sheel, the study simulates how dry Martian conditions and frictional collisions between dust grains can generate strong electric fields inside these vo...

Scientists Discover Bacteria That Can 'Breathe' By Generating Electricity
The process is called extracellular respiration, which mimics how batteries discharge electric current -- allowing bacteria to thrive without oxygen.

Microlightning in Water Droplets Could Explain the Origin of Life on Earth
Microlightning, tiny electrical discharges occurring in water droplets from crashing waves or waterfalls, may have played a crucial role in forming organic molecules necessary for life. A study published in Science Advances reveals that these sparks can create carbon-nitrogen bonds, challenging the long-standing Miller-Urey hypothesis. Led by Richa...

ISS Captures Rare Gigantic Jet, a Massive Upward Lightning Over New Orleans
A newly released image taken from the ISS captures a rare gigantic jet of lightning extending over 50 miles above New Orleans. The photo, dated November 19, 2024, was discovered in the Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth database. These rare upward-shooting discharges occur when storm cloud charge layers invert, propelling energy skyward. The...

Mysterious Reverse Lighting or Gigantic Jets From 2018 Explained on Detailed 3D Study
Thunderstorm lighting can also strike upwards from the clouds and the phenomena are called the gigantic jets. Unraveling this, scientists conducted a detailed 3D study of the massive Oklahoma electrical discharge that took place on May 14, 2018. It is considered to be the most powerful gigantic jet studied so far.

Tesla Files Patent To Make Electric Car Batteries Safer
According to the patent, the new system has a feature or a material that will insulate battery cells from heat generated by surrounding battery cells. The material used will most likely be some sort of new age polymer. The system will also have cooled plates or 'heat pipes' that will help remove the heat generated from battery cells in general and ...
