Detecting radiation is a fundamental necessity for national security, but doing so effectively and at a distance is a tall ...

These high-energy particles in space make up what are known as the Van Allen radiation belts, and their discovery was one of the first of the space age. A new study from my research team has found ...

In a nutshell Scientists discovered that lightning on Earth can knock high-energy electrons out of the inner radiation belt, ...

A new technique pioneered by scientists at the University of Maryland uses lasers to create a “little ball of lightning” than can help detect radiation at least up to 10 meters from the source.

IN a paper which has recently attracted a considerable amount of attention, Kapitza 1 has proposed a standing electromagnetic wave description of ball lightning ... of the radiation is ...

Detecting radiation is a fundamental necessity for national security, but doing so effectively and at a distance is a tall order. A new technique pioneered by scientists at the University of Maryland ...

One of the ways to disturb electrons in the inner radiation belt and kick them into Earth’s atmosphere actually begins in the atmosphere itself. Content continues below Lightning, the large ...
