The University of Liverpool, as a member of the Russell group, have conducted innovation case studies on cloud formation as water condenses on a solid surface. Innovation case studies are a valuable way of judging and evaluating the progress of research as it is undertaken, and these new ideas, developed in conjunction with University College London and the Fritz-Haber Institut are the first step in understanding how clouds are formed.
Strategic innovation objectives in this research include understanding how the structures that are formed affect the weather, with an ultimate goal of being able to control how and when weather systems are generated.
Science and business ideas must come together, and in time these institutes will look for partners to deliver these research objectives. Further innovation case studies will follow so that the progress of the technology is continuously assessed.
Controlled by information technology, innovation generated materials could be used to seed clouds to influence rain and cloud density and provide a measure of control over weather patterns.
Using planned scientific effort innovation management and business acumen there is a real prospect of improving the environment through the intelligent use of scientific discovery.
