It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Lightning strikes happen when electricity builds up inside storm clouds and between the clouds and the ground. Inside a ...

As particles rub together from wind friction in a thunderstorm, the charges separate and static electricity develops. The negative charges or electrons separate to the bottom of the thunderstorm, ...
