Researchers create a mathematical tool to measure the Sun's atmosphere using spacecraft radio signals

Research Matters Staff Writer(s) Indore 22 Jun 2026 An international team of scientists has developed a novel method to measure the speed and density of the solar wind using routine radio signals from spacecraft passing behind the Sun. By creating a universal mathematical formula that works across different radio frequencies, the researchers have unlocked a consistent way to study the Sun's superheated, chaotic atmosphere, known as the corona.
