FORTE can detect the burst
of electromagnetic energy from a nuclear blast but its scientific forte has proven to be detecting lightning: the spacecraft's sensitive instruments also pick up the brief radio impulses, lasting less than a thousandth of a second, from lightning flashes.
Some scientists believe that an electrical apocalypse could really occur, in the event of an electromagnetic pulse attack, described in one 2008 white paper as «a high - intensity
burst of electromagnetic energy caused by the rapid acceleration of charged particles.»
There is such an intense concentration
of electromagnetic energy in the strong curving peak of the pulse that it ionises the air as it travels, leaving a plasma arc in its wake.
Laurent Grasso (Paris, France) has been long fascinated with the visual possibilities related to the
science of electromagnetic energy, radio waves, and naturally occurring phenomena.
I built a work that exploits the phenomenon of sonoluminescence, in which extremely high pressure sound waves in liquids create tiny
sources of electromagnetic energy.
Microwave radiometry data are used to construct brightness temperatures: an indication of the
intensity of electromagnetic energy at a particular wavelength that filters up through the atmosphere and reaches the satellite's sensor.
In particular, while studying a trimer system consisting of three discrete metallic nanodisks of about 145 nanometers in diameter and 60 nanometers thick, the team found evidence for the presence of near - field, subwavelength - sized optical vortices and the
circulation of electromagnetic energy (see image).
This led to his discovery of the photon, a discrete
packet of electromagnetic energy, and to the realization that such a packet must be both a wave and a particle.
«This zero - index metamaterial offers a solution for the
confinement of electromagnetic energy in different waveguide configurations because its high internal phase velocity produces full transmission, regardless of how the material is configured.»
On Nov. 11, 2014, a global network of telescopes picked up signals from 300 million light - years away that were created by a tidal disruption flare — an
explosion of electromagnetic energy that occurs when a black hole rips apart a passing star.
In this sci - fi horror outing a terrorist turns into an unstoppable
mass of electromagnetic energy after an attempted prison break goes horribly awry.
Students explore the simple mathematics behind light and other forms
of electromagnetic energy including the properties of waves, wavelength, frequency, the Doppler shift, and the various ways that astronomers image the universe across the electromagnetic spectrum to learn more about the properties of matter and its movement.
Your explanation is incomplete — you ignore totally the massive
amounts of electromagnetic energy entering into and out of the earth - system via Birkeland currents at the polar regions, and which are measured routinely in millions of amperes.
Some of them work (such as the Ember sniper rifle that shoots
bursts of electromagnetic energy or the Ratchet & Clank - style Buzzkill, which shoots reams of bouncing sawblades at your foes) and some of them don't (such as the DropShot, which is meant to fire explosive drills from above, but proves too unwieldy to aim correctly in the heat of battle).
Solar flares are bursts
of electromagnetic energy and particles that sometimes stream from the sun.
And then the second thing that I think is negative is that because of the way those saunas are built, the far infrared, it's like
all of your electromagnetic energy, it travels in a straight line.
