Prior to IXPE, scientists predicted X-ray polarization would be produced by magnetic fields that are aligned at 90 degrees (perpendicular ) to magnetic fields that polarize the radio wave radiation.

Terahertz (THz) waves, situated on the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared light, hold promise for applications in wireless communication and medical imaging. However ...

In a major development, researchers have created a transparent device that can harvest energy from both radio waves and ...

Researchers observed high variability in the FRB's Faraday rotation — a change in the radio waves' polarization, which happens when it passes through magnetic fields.

The largest radio telescope FAST detects 90% circular polarization and rapidly changing linear polarization in the bursts of a fast radio burst (FRB) repeater, imposing new constraint on radiative ...

Polarization means that all the waves in a beam of light (or radio signal, which is just very, very long wavelengths of the same sort of energy as light) are oriented in the same direction.

SINCE the ionosphere is a doubly refracting medium, due to the influence of the earth's magnetic field, a plane-polarized radio wave incident normally on it is split into two elliptically ...

Polarization—the orientation of light waves—is a cornerstone of modern technology, critical in everything from ...

A Dazzling Burst of Radio Waves Ignited Near a Dead Star Learn how researchers have interpreted the story of one particular fast radio burst that emerged from a neutron star 200 million light-years ...

Circular polarization is less susceptible to signal fading since the polarization most easily propagated is achieved whatever the intervening propagation environment might happen to be. In ham radio, ...

Antarctic scientists detect unexplained radio waves under the ice while searching for neutrinos, with researcher Stephanie Wissel noting these signals defy physics ...

Unlike visible light or radio waves, terhartz waves can reveal structural details of biological molecules and penetrate nonmetallic objects like clothing and paper. However to harness them effectively ...
