Researchers uncover how lightning forms, linking it to X-rays and high-energy particles in thunderclouds.
Researchers at Penn State have detailed how lightning forms in thunderclouds.
Strong electric fields accelerate electrons that collide with air molecules, creating X-rays and a cascade of high-energy particles, which leads to lightning.
This discovery, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, explains why some gamma-ray flashes occur without visible lightning and may help improve lightning prediction for safety and research purposes.
