after a sound experimental framework for radio had been laid by the German scientist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857–1894). Hertz validated Maxwell’s theory through experimentally proving the existence of ...

FRBs are sporadic, intense flashes of radio wave energy that can be brighter than entire galaxies. In just thousandths of a ...

Vonecia Sullivan-Hill said she took a weekend getaway last summer to Georgia. When she landed in Atlanta, she rented a car through Hertz. She said everything was fine during the trip until she ...

Mysterious fast radio bursts, or millisecond-long bright flashes of radio waves from space, have intrigued astronomers since the first detection of the phenomenon in 2007. The enigmatic signals ...

The source of the fast radio bursts (FRBs) -- sudden flashes of radio waves that last just milliseconds -- has previously been linked to young, magnetized neutron stars that expend a lot of energy ...

At double the width of our Milky Way galaxy, this jet of radio waves is the biggest ever detected so early in the history of the universe, astronomers reported Thursday. Radio jets like this are ...

Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves—so-called fast ...

The discovery of chorus waves happened by accident—and not in space but on Earth—when World War I radio operators overheard them emanating from thunderstorms. “People were listening for ...
