Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, ...

Delhi has revived artificial rainmaking after over 50 years, conducting a cloud-seeding trial to combat severe winter smog. A ...

Clouds are a collection of very tiny water droplets, or ice crystals, that float in the air together. They're able to float because they're so small and light. Rain forms when they all start combining ...

Officials experimented with cloud seeding to try and reduce environmental pollutants as residents choke on filthy air.

According to the Indian government, the experiment helped to reduce air pollution — but researchers attribute that to the weather.

Moisture content remained low at 10-15%, which is not ideal for cloud seeding, but this situation is suitable for judging effectiveness in low-moisture conditions, says IIT Kanpur.
