However, there’s a catch. Before electrons can be accelerated by these shock waves, they need to contain a certain amount of energy to begin with. Nobody knows how electrons gain this initial energy.

These electrons emit radiation as they spin, and this radiation is amplified by wave–particle interactions with other electrons to form chorus waves. Liu et al. showed that the plasma is ...
