University of Birmingham experts have created open-source computer software that helps scientists understand how fast-moving particles behave when they interact with electromagnetic waves in space. Understanding how these particles behave in Earth’s radiation belts is crucial because high-energy electrons can damage satellites, while radiation belt dynamics affect space weather forecasts. Better models help protect astronauts,…
