Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief radio emissions from distant astronomical sources. Some are known to repeat, but most are single bursts, occurring only...
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, beaming out mighty jets which travel through space at 0.99 times the speed of...
Astronomers using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope network have detected a vast ridge of radio emission connecting the merging galaxy clusters...
In October 2017, a fast moving object of extrasolar origin, named ‘Oumuamua, was discovered close to the Earth with a ground-based telescope in Hawai’i....
Astronomers using NSF’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array have detected a ‘rogue’ planetary-mass object with a surprisingly powerful magnetic field.
Artist’s...
A multinational group of astronomers has imaged the formation and expansion of a fast-moving jet of material ejected when the intense gravity of a supermassive...
Ever since NASA’s Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter in 1979, planetary researchers have wondered about the origin of Jovian lightning. That encounter confirmed...
Astronomers have detected radio echoes of a supermassive black hole feeding on a star, suggesting the black hole emits a jet of energy proportional to...
Using the Experiment to Detect Global EoR Signature (EDGES), a small ground-based radio telescope at CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in...
A team of computer scientists and electrical engineers at the University of Washington has invented a cellphone that requires no batteries and harvests...
