Scientists develop a new tool for measuring radio waves in fusion plasmas
Scientists seeking to bring to Earth the fusion energy that drives the sun and stars use radio frequency (RF) waves—the same waves that bring radio and television into homes—to heat and drive current in the plasma that fuels fusion reactions. Sci.....»»
Solar radio signals could be used to monitor melting ice sheets
The sun provides a daunting source of electromagnetic disarray—chaotic, random energy emitted by the massive ball of gas arrives to Earth in a wide spectrum of radio frequencies. But in that randomness, Stanford researchers have discovered the maki.....»»
