Cosmic radio pulses repeating every few minutes or hours, known as long-period transients, have puzzled astronomers since ...

So if we’re right, each former human is now essentially a radio transmitter and receiver. One plurb sends out a signal that ...

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 ...

Far beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, scientists are mapping a landscape that looks less like a frozen desert and more like an ...

A repeating fast radio burst has just given up one of its biggest secrets. Long-term observations revealed a rare signal ...

A comet from another star system is sweeping through our cosmic backyard and, for the first time, astronomers have picked up a clear radio signal coming from it. The object, known as Comet 3I/ATLAS, ...

The universe is awash with strange radio signals, but astronomers have now detected a really bizarre one that repeats every hour, cycling through three different states. While they have some ideas ...

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 team of astronomers, including researchers from the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong ...

Astronomers have found compelling evidence that at least some fast radio bursts originate from stars in binary systems rather than from isolated objects. An international group of astronomers, ...
