LOFAR reveals spike-like repeating radio burst pairs in the solar corona

Researchers using the LOFAR radio telescope have discovered repeating pairs of radio bursts in the solar corona. These 'spike-like' signals, separated by four seconds, provide new insights into turbulent plasma processes and magnetic energy release on the sun.
Why it matters
Understanding solar radio bursts helps scientists better predict space weather, which can impact satellite communications and power grids on Earth.
