See Electric Clouds Research In Action First highlights from a multi-million-pound project that could influence rainfall were presented to visitors from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the University of Reading. A team of Reading scientists is investigating how spraying electric charge into clouds can induce rain in parts of the world that […]
Electric shocks for clouds could make it rain in the Middle East
Clouds could be given a helpful jolt of electric charge to increase much-needed rainfall in dry parts of the world, thanks to an award-winning research proposal by scientists at the University of Reading. The new study will investigate how charge modifies the growth of tiny water droplets into larger drops that fall as rain. It […]
