Astronomers make first detection of polarized radio waves in gamma ray burst jets
Good fortune and cutting-edge scientific equipment have allowed scientists to observe a Gamma Ray Burst jet with a radio telescope and detect the polarisation of radio waves within it for the first time - moving us closer to an understanding of what causes the universe's most powerful explosions. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the universe, beaming out mighty
