(Phys.org)—A team of researchers working at Australia's Parkes Observatory has found the source of at least one kind of peryton—a type of radio signal similar to Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) which are known to come from somewhere ...
Bad wireless reception, the noise in the radio signal or poor visibility in the fog—all these annoyances have to do with the fact that waves such as visible light or microwave signals are deflected and reflected by numerous ...
