Radio waves from about 17,000 galaxies show that the peak of star formation, about 10 billion years ago, might have been more productive than predicted.

The radio waves sent out by the 78 transmitters in the network are reflected back by the ocean's waves, giving scientists a 24-hour-a-day map of coastal currents.

So just how does the modulating of radio waves enable data transmission? The answer is found in the concept of coding. Coding refers to a modulation pattern that is understood and shared by both a ...

Astronomers have detected one of the most distant and energetic mysterious fast radio bursts in space, a millisecond-long blast of radio waves that traveled 8 billion years to reach Earth.

A new space probe could soon transform how we study distant planets without ever landing on them. The Gravity Imaging Radio ...

NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Regina Barber and Geoff Brumfiel of Short Wave about a new moon mission, a global map of fishing ships, and mysterious rings of radio waves.

Using fast radio bursts, astronomers have finally located the universe’s missing ordinary matter across billions of ...

A dose of radio waves seems to encourage plant seedlings to grow slightly faster, a find that, if confirmed, could have applications from farming to medicine. Margaret Ahmad at Sorbonne University ...

BURSTS of radio waves flashing across the sky seem to follow a mathematical pattern. If the pattern is real, either some strange celestial physics is going on, or the bursts are artificial ...
