The Franco-Chinese space mission SVOM has just entered a new phase: after nine months of testing, the satellite is officially ...

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 ...

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

“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 ...

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

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 ...

The European Commission recently established a planned gamma-ray observatory as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium, or ERIC, which will expedite the construction of the telescope and ...

Gamma rays are much shorter in wavelength than visible ... billions of stars and then quickly fades away. What could be the source of these mind-boggling bursts? But it now appears that certain ...
