New observations of a far-flung galaxy cluster have left a group of scientists stumped as they ponder whether they’ve discovered a new form of physics. In their new paper, researchers Tessa Vernstrom ...

Saul Hernandez, a New Mexico State University senior studying physics and linguistics with a minor in astronomy, has turned recycled materials into a backyard radio telescope capable of detecting the ...

Triggered by lightning in thunderstorms, whistler waves are radio waves that are channelled thousands of kilometres around the world via ducts in the magnetosphere. As Ian Randall reports, these ...

An international Ph.D. student in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney discovered unusual radio waves emanating from the center of the Milky Way prompting astronomers to seek evidence of ...

Instruments flying more than 18 miles (29 kilometers) above Antarctica detected two unexplainable radio pulses coming from below the ice — and these signals seem to defy particle physics. Researchers ...

A new study published this week in the Astrophysical Journal details the discovery of radio waves that appear to be unlike anything the experts have studied before. The radio waves were observed using ...

Overview: In its 19th year, the SETI Institute’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) welcomed 12 students for summer 2025 to work alongside scientists on projects ranging from exoplanet ...

Physicists have used a small glass bulb containing an atomic vapor to demonstrate a new form of antenna for radio waves. The bulb was 'wired up' with laser beams and could therefore be placed far from ...

As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world’s decision-making is occurring autonomously on the edge—on the small devices that gather ...

A new ultra-low-power method of communication at first glance seems to violate the laws of physics. It is possible to wirelessly transmit information simply by opening and closing a switch that ...

Brown dwarf stars rarely emit radio waves. Here scientists have found the coldest star yet emitting at these long wave lengths. Understanding the science of 'ultracool brown dwarfs' will help deepen ...
