It's not easy to imagine how high the frequency of a high-energy gamma ray is. During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will ...

The tour ends with gamma rays, the potentially deadly radiation ... To find out more about the spectrum, see the links in Resources. To convert metric measurements discussed in this feature ...

For that, you need something like this gamma-ray spectroscope ... showing different spectra for each. [mihai.cuciuc] took inspiration for the Pomelo from this DIY spectrometer as well as the ...

Buried deep in the ice in the Antarctic are "eyes" that can see elementary particles called neutrinos, and what they've ...

The Milky Way, our home galaxy, is part of a different supercluster called Laniakea, which, at 500 million light-years wide, is dwarfed by the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall. In fact, the team ...

A puzzling discovery in NGC 1068 shows a flood of neutrinos but weak gamma rays. Scientists now suspect helium atoms ...

Tracking the sources of photons is a hobby of many astrophysicists. Some types of photons are tied so closely to particular ...
