Whistler mode chorus waves are electromagnetic emissions common in planetary magnetospheres. Among other impacts, their scattering of magnetospheric electrons is one driver for the formation of ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

Astronomers are on the verge of unlocking an entirely new way to observe the universe. Since the first detection of gravitational waves in October 2015, scientists have been listening in to these ...

Whenever I find myself harboring a constantly nagging thought, I know I will eventually have to get busy and find a way to put it to rest. When I read EDN’s Design Ideas, I look for the range of ...

For the first time, physicists have found what they are calling “compelling evidence” for low-frequency gravitational waves, ripples in space-time usually caused by massive cosmic objects orbiting ...

A 100-year-old equation and a fibre-optic cable off the coast of Svalbard led researchers to discover they could detect ...
