Astronomers have finally traced a strange class of radio signals—long a cosmic mystery—to a binary star system made up of a ...

Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most puzzling astronomical phenomena. These brief yet intense bursts of radio waves, ...

AMONG the facts to be explained in a satisfactory theory of the propagation of radio waves over the earth's surface are the curvature of the rays in transmission between stations far apart ...

At lower frequencies our galaxy emits prodigious amounts of radio waves creating a loud background of noise. At higher frequencies the Earth’s atmosphere, and presumably the atmosphere of other ...

He designed a transmitter to send and a receiver to detect radio waves. By the end of the century Marconi had managed to send signals over several miles with no wires, and the idea was taking hold ...

Radio waves are transmitted easily through air. They do not cause damage if absorbed by the human body, and they can be reflected to change their direction. These properties make them ideal for ...

There are seven types of electromagnetic (EM) waves, which make up the electromagnetic spectrum ... wave have different uses and dangers. Radio waves are used for sending radio and television ...

FM radio works the same way that AM radio works. The difference is in how the carrier wave is modulated, or altered. With AM radio, the amplitude, or overall strength, of the signal is varied to ...
