Scientists have observed "coronae" on treetops for the first time, confirming the phenomenon occurs in the wild.

The electrical energy generated by thunderstorms can make our hair stand up, and even create invisible sparkles on trees. Now, we have photographic proof of this long-theorized electrical event for ...

Highly detailed 3D scans of dense tropical rain forest plots are enabling precise estimates of tree structure, volume and ...

Highly detailed 3D scans of dense tropical rain forest plots are enabling precise estimates of tree structure, volume and stored carbon, as part of a ...

For the first time, researchers have observed and measured weak electrical discharges, known as coronae, on trees during thunderstorms. A new study describes the near-invisible sparkles appearing ...

Abstract: A self-assembled quantum dot (QD) gain medium has multiple favorable material properties over conventional quantum well (QW) structures and bulk materials, including a large tolerance for ...
