Until now, the furthest from Earth they've been detected is 51,000 kilometers (31,690 miles). That's around the spot where ...

Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could ...

Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like chirping birds in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called ...

Detection of electromagnetic fluctuations that generate ‘killer electrons’ challenges scientific ideas about radiation in our ...

NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites have observed bird-like chorus waves in the Earth's mid-tail neutral sheet, challenging previous knowledge that these waves only form near the dipolar ...

In this week's science roundup from Short Wave, we discuss "chirps" of radiation from space, contagious urination among chimps, and the meltiness of vegan cheese.

But this performance lends its name to another type of chorus — one of intense electromagnetic bursts — chiefly because, when these waves are converted into audio signals, they sound similar ...
