Scientists have announced the discovery of nearly 300 gamma ray pulsars. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in conjunction with the international Fermi Large Area Telescope Collaboration, ...

Gamma-rays are the highest energy (the shortest wavelength) type of electromagnetic radiation. They are classified as a type of an ionising radiation; with respect to alpha and beta particles they ...

Complex lead halides with the perovskite structure has been extensively studied in recent years in terms of radiation hardness. Many researchers found surprisingly high resistance of various ...

A scientist in California has taken steps toward a long-sought gamma ray laser by harnessing positronium bubbles in special liquid helium. Positronium is a volatile, short-lived atom that seems kind ...

Gamma-ray flares from blazars can be accompanied by high-energy neutrino emission. To better understand this phenomenon, an international research team has statistically analyzed 145 bright blazars.

Gamma rays can only be detected by sensors made of dense metals and takes over six feet (1.8 meters) of concrete to block. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Gamma irradiation of food is a simple, reliable, and mature technology. However, more use of alternative irradiation technologies, based on electrically generated sources, would help complement the ...

GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...

The positions of the cataloged pulsars shown in a top-down view of the Milky Way. The red and orange symbols indicate millisecond pulsars, while the green and blue symbols indicate young, unrecycled ...
