11th Edition of International Young Scientist Awards

Rain seeding, also known as cloud seeding, is a weather modification technique used to enhance precipitation in clouds, typically to increase rainfall or snowfall. The process involves the introduction of various substances into clouds to encourage the formation and growth of ice crystals or water droplets, which can lead to increased precipitation. The most commonly used substances for cloud seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide, and calcium chloride.

There are two primary methods of cloud seeding:

Cold Cloud Seeding: This method is used for clouds with temperatures below freezing. Silver iodide or other ice-nucleating agents are dispersed into the cloud. These particles serve as nuclei around which ice crystals can form. As more ice crystals develop and grow, they eventually become heavy enough to fall as snow or rain.

Warm Cloud Seeding: This method is used for clouds with temperatures above freezing. Cloud seeding agents such as potassium iodide or calcium chloride are introduced into the cloud to encourage the growth of larger water droplets, which are more likely to collide and coalesce into raindrops. Warm cloud seeding is generally used in regions with warmer climates.

The effectiveness of cloud seeding can vary depending on several factors, including the type of cloud, atmospheric conditions, and the availability of suitable clouds for seeding. It is not a guaranteed method for producing precipitation, and its success is often subject to natural variations in weather patterns.

Cloud seeding is used for various purposes, including:

Agriculture: Farmers may use cloud seeding to increase rainfall in drought-prone regions to support crop growth.

Water Resource Management: Municipalities and water authorities use cloud seeding to augment water supplies in reservoirs and aquifers.

Snowpack Enhancement: In areas that rely on snowmelt for water supply, cloud seeding can be used to increase snowfall in mountainous regions.

Weather Modification: Some regions use cloud seeding for weather modification to mitigate the impact of hailstorms or to disperse fog at airports.

It's worth noting that cloud seeding remains a subject of ongoing research and debate, and its environmental and ecological impacts are areas of concern. Critics argue that it may have unintended consequences and should be used with caution.

The decision to implement cloud seeding programs is typically made by local authorities or organizations involved in water resource management and weather modification, and it often requires careful planning, monitoring, and evaluation.

Nano-patterned copper oxide sensor provides rapid ultra-low hydrogen detection

Image
Hydrogen is becoming an increasingly popular choice as we shift towards cleaner energy. It can be burned like traditional fuels, producing only water as a byproduct, and can generate electricity when used in fuel cells. However, as hydrogen production, use, and transportation increase, so do safety concerns. Hydrogen is highly flammable at concentrations as low as 4% and is odorless and colorless, making leaks challenging to detect.

Nature’s first fiber optics could light the way to internet innovation

Image
In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the same way that telecommunications company use fiber optics to deliver high-speed internet connectivity into homes. This innovation, a first known example of bundled fiber optics in a living creature, helps to explain how heart cockles (Corculum cardissa) — a marine bivalve found in shallow waters across the Indian and Pacific Oceans — harness sunlight to nourish symbiotic algae living within, while protecting them from harmful ultraviolet rays. In return, the algae provide the clams with sugars and other essential nutrients. The finding highlights an evolutionary adaptation that parallels human technological ingenuity, and offers potential insights for the development of bioinspired optical systems in the future, researchers report November 19 in Nature Communications. Heart cockles are sm...
