Scientists guide lightning with lasers fired at thunderclouds
A group of scientists say they successfully steered bolts of lightning using laser technology during a storm in Switzerland, demonstrating a potential new method to protect infrastructure from lightning strikes. The scientists published their work in the journal Nature Photonics on Monday, writing that this first-ever demonstration used laser-induced filaments that successfully guided lightning to the ground. The experiment took place on the Santis Mountain in northeastern Switzerland during the summer of 2021, where they set up a high-repetition-rate terawatt laser next to a telecommunication tower that is stuck by lightning about 100 times a year. "Metal rods are used almost every
