In a state where every raindrop counts, scientists in the Desert Research Institute’s Cloud Seeding Program have mastered the ...

Two of the best ice nuclei are silver iodide and a protein produced by the bacteria Pseudomonas syringae. Most snowmaking systems add a commercial form of the bacterial protein to water to ensure most ...

With a third year of drought on the horizon, irrigators are looking at the possibility of cloud seeding to increase ...

The term refers to a process of weather manipulation in which silver iodide is burned and injected into snow clouds, similar to the blast from a propane burner, to stimulate or increase snowfall ...

"This can be done by using aircraft to drop small particles (like silver iodide) into clouds," the BBC said. "Water vapor can then condense more easily and turn into rain." The idea was conceived ...

His invention, later named the daguerreotype, was based on a special property of silver iodide: when exposed to light, the molecules undergo a chemical transformation that can be turned into ...

It is now five years since dry ice was first used to make rain. An account of the present state of the technique, with special reference to the sowing of silver iodide for large-scale effects ...
