    Needle-like structures discovered on positively charged lightning branches

    Lightning is a dangerous yet poorly understood natural phenomenon. Lightning forms a network of plasma channels propagating away from the initiation point with both positively and negatively charged ends—calle...

    A large light-mass component of cosmic rays at 1017–1017.5 electronvolts from radio observations

    High-resolution radio measurements of air showers—cascades of secondary particles in the atmosphere initiated by cosmic rays—reveal that cosmic rays with energies of 1017–1017.5 electronvolts have a mixed composi...
