This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers ...

Due to the audio medium of radio, we tend to associate radio waves with sound, but they are a type of light. Just like we can see different colors due to different wavelengths of visible light, we can ...

New discoveries, everyday mysteries, and the science behind the headlines — in just under 15 minutes. It's science for everyone, using a lot of creativity and a little humor. Join hosts Emily Kwong ...

Researchers propose that hydrogen gas from the early Universe emitted detectable radio waves influenced by dark matter. Studying these signals, especially from the Moon’s radio-quiet environment, ...

Astronomers have released a spectacular new image of the Milky Way, providing a glimpse of our galaxy in unprecedented detail. The photograph, which took 18 months and over 40,000 hours to construct, ...

Sound vibrations leave the singer's mouth. The higher the pitch of the sound, the higher the frequency, or number of vibrations in a given amount of time. The sound enters the microphone, where it is ...

Astronomers searching for signs of life beyond Earth have spotted something strange. An as-yet unexplained radio signal appears to be coming from the direction of the star closest to the sun—a small ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

FM radio works the same way that AM radio works. The difference is in how the carrier wave is modulated, or altered. With AM radio, the amplitude, or overall strength, of the signal is varied to ...

The European Research Council (ERC) has agreed to fund two high-profile international projects with ETH's backing. Markus ...

MONTCLAIR, VA. — It was once Oldies as “XTRA 104” and after that was “Z104” in an era of the Spice Girls and TLC. Now, WPRS-FM has entered a new era for the National Capital Region by adopting a ...
