Scientists have discovered that water moving over surfaces generates significantly more electrical charge than previously believed, particularly when it sticks and then slips past tiny obstacles. This ...

To stay driest in the rain, is it better to walk or run? While some say you want to minimize time exposed to falling ...

Researchers from RMIT University and the University of Melbourne have discovered that water generates an electrical charge up ...

When water falls from a cloud, it is precipitation. Liquid precipitation is rain or freezing rain. If the drops are smaller ...

Droplets bouncing off surfaces are an everyday phenomenon, like raindrops bouncing off lotus leaves or water drops sizzling in a hot pan, levitating and sliding around—aka the Leidenfrost effect.

The NWS says sleet forms when snowflakes fall through warmer air but don't completely melt. Unlike the thin layer of freezing ...

Freezing rain is one of the most hazardous types of precipitation where liquid water droplets freeze instantly on ground impact. It can turn roads and pavements into ice rinks very quickly and in ...

This happens when the droplets are very tiny and have been unable to crystallize. When water falls from a cloud, it is precipitation. Liquid precipitation is rain or freezing rain. If the drops ...
