Born of x-ray astronomy, a novel handheld gamma-optical camera stands at the nexus of medical and industrial imaging. By ...

Gamma rays can only be detected by sensors made of dense metals and takes over six feet (1.8 meters) of concrete to block. Gamma rays are high-energy photons produced by some of the most violent ...

Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit regular radio wave pulses and beams of magnetic radiation, which can ...

A Japanese team has conducted a pioneering study on terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs). These events, although brief, ...

Japanese researchers captured rare gamma-ray flash from lightning collision using advanced multi-sensor detection system.

"The LAT observed a pronounced enhancement in the gamma-ray activity from the direction of the source on 2022-12-08 and on ...

A team of international scientists has uncovered a surprising cosmic mystery, thanks to a galaxy nicknamed the Squid Galaxy ...

“The ability to make coherent gamma rays would be a scientific revolution in creating new kinds of light sources, similar to how the discovery and development of visible light and X-ray sources ...

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

While the series of events that generated GRB 221009A (supernova explosion or creation of a black hole) remains undetermined, the gamma-ray source is located almost 2 billion light-years away ...

Fermi has been observing the sky since it launched in 2008, but about 30% of the gamma rays it has seen have yet to be attributed to a source. Thus, Filócomo and her team set about attempting to ...
