Laser-assisted water condensation

Laser-assisted water condensation is an experimental technique for artificially causing rainfall. This technique was developed in 2011 by scientists from the University of Geneva.[1] It is related to cloud seeding.

The technique works by creating nitric particles in the clouds that cause condensation with laser pulses.[2]
