Solar flares are giant explosions that occur in a localized regions of the sun's atmosphere, typically originating from ...

All forms of electromagnetic radiation, whether they're called waves or rays, are generated by particles in motion. In a radio signal, for example, negatively charged electrons quickly move back ...

In this new study, researchers exposed the reproductive organs of male mice to varying levels of terahertz radiation to study ...

From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action between particles that have an electric charge) surround us. But did you know that there's ...

X-rays are a common component of diagnostic testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from monitoring your teeth ...

Powerful electromagnetic radiation from an enormous radio telescope in Puerto Rico may have fast-tracked structural damage that led to the instrument's collapse in 2020, a new report says.

Electromagnetic radiation of extremely high energies is produced not only in the jets launched from active nuclei of distant galaxies, but also in jet-launching objects lying within the Milky Way ...

Key insights from the whitepaper: Radiation can be divided into four main categories: alpha, beta, neutrons, and electromagnetic waves (or gamma rays), and identified as non-ionizing or ionizing ...

Materials scientists have invented a composite material that protects electronics by absorbing over 99% of electromagnetic ...

A new X-ray detector produces a high-quality radiograph that shows a metal needle (top right) and the interior of a USB drive (bottom right) using lower doses of electromagnetic radiation than ...

Philip Morrison and Guiseppe Cocconi analyzed how two civilizations separated by many light years of space might use electromagnetic radiation to communicate. Electromagnetic radiation is the general ...

A machine takes an internal image of the part of the body being X-rayed. X-ray machines use a kind of electromagnetic radiation that's similar to visible light but that has a little more energy. When ...
