Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

Thunderstorms are known to generate gamma rays, the highest energy radiation on Earth. But pinning the burst to a specific bolt is new.

NTNU researchers may have found the answer to one of the big, unanswered questions in physics. The universe is full of ...

The wide-field gamma-ray telescope is designed to observe giant magnetar flares and identify elements created within them. The telescope could help astronomers search for other potential sources of ...

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a ...

Imagine a medical scanner that works faster and produces clearer images, or a radiation detector that pinpoints tiny traces ...

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 ...

HAWC Observatory researchers reveal TeV halos as universal features of middle-aged pulsars, offering new insights into gamma-ray emissions and pulsar detection.

An international research team including the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei ...

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