Microwave ovens are everywhere, and at the heart of them is a magnetron — a device that creates microwaves. [DiodeGoneWild] tore one apart to show us what was inside and how it works.

Your instant ramen and leftovers wouldn't be the same without your microwave. Here's the most important things to know about ...

Magnetrons cause electric charges to oscillate and emit microwaves — a more powerful form of radiation than the radio waves previously used for radar defences. The post-war period saw a ...

Relativistic magnetron technology is an advanced field focused on the development of high-power microwave (HPM) sources. These devices utilize relativistic electron beams in conjunction with ...

The cavity magnetron uses physical cavities and a magnetic field to create microwave energy. The frequency is determined by the size and shape of the cavities. While the cavity magnetron had ...

Heating up a mug of coffee might be a daily go-to, especially when you're in a rush. Take care though, as some coffee mug ...

One day while working near the magnetrons that produced microwaves, Spencer noticed a peanut butter candy bar in his pocket had begun to melt - shortly after, the microwave oven was born.
