The research, conducted by scientists at Stanford University, demonstrates that when water droplets collide and form spray, ...

In a nutshell Water droplets create “microlightning” when they split, producing electrical discharges without any external ...

Experiments show that those small electrical charges can trigger the chemical reactions necessary to form organic molecules.

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

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