1. Radio astronomy allows us to see things that are not detectable in optical astronomy. Such objects represent some of the most extreme and energetic physical processes in the universe.
2. Researchers have found a way to tap the energy from these electromagnetic waves to power small wireless devices. And the technology needed to do so can be printed on a piece of paper.
3. Radio waves have enabled better navigation on aircraft and ships. They send signals and then they receive them from the reflection.
