Astronomers have discovered a new type of stellar object that could change their understanding of extreme celestial bodies in the universe. Initially, Curtin University doctoral student Tyrone ...

For the first time, astronomers have observed radio waves emitted by a Type Ia supernova, a type of explosion originating from a white dwarf star. This provides important clues to understand how white ...

When the New York Times first wrote about "mysterious radio waves" from the cosmos in 1933, they made sure to note one fundamental caveat: "No Evidence of Interstellar Signaling." Indeed, the radio ...

Scientists have uncovered a "universal law" that applies to certain extreme, ultra-dense stars, and the research could help to shed light on mysterious flashes known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) that ...

In a galaxy 650 million light-years away, a black hole has defied the typical rules of cosmic behavior, unleashing an event ...

A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw has developed ...

An unusual blast of radio waves from deep space had a sense of rhythm. Over the few seconds in December 2019 when the burst was detected, it kept a steady beat. That tempo holds clues to the potential ...

Last week, we explored whether light is a wave or a particle... and were left with more questions than answers. Now, let’s take a look at how one of nature’s flashiest phenomena can affect another ...

Beneath the explosions, collisions and other intermittent bangs in the cosmos, scientists suspect a nonstop soundtrack plays, created by ripples in spacetime continually washing through the universe.

Astronomers have detected a mysterious radio burst, with a pattern similar to a beating heart, from a far-away galaxy. In their findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature on Wednesday, ...

Researchers report that lab tests of a new metasurface-based antenna that can harvest 100 microwatts of power, enough to power simple devices, from low power radio waves. This represents an important ...
