"Groundbreaking: Laser bends lightning in unprecedented scientific achievement"
Scientists have successfully bent lightning from a storm using a powerful laser, marking a scientific first. By shooting a super powerful laser into the sky, researchers were able to deflect a lightning bolt almost 200 feet before it hit a lightning rod, demonstrating the potential use of lasers as protection against dangerous thunderstorms. This breakthrough could help prevent lightning-related fatalities and reduce insurance claims caused by thunderstorms.
