A small research satellite designed to study the violent processes behind the creation and destruction of chemical elements will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in 2027, NASA announced Tuesday. The ...

This artist’s concept shows the entire sky in gamma rays with magenta circles illustrating the uncertainty in the direction from which more high-energy gamma rays than average seem to be arriving. In ...

Astronomers analyzing 13 years of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have found an unexpected and as yet unexplained feature outside of our galaxy. Astronomers analyzing 13 years of data ...

Solar physicists fromNJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have uncovered the elusive source of intense gamma rays unleashed during solar flares. These high-energy radiation signals ...

A new study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, has produced a compressed 14-year movie of the sun observed in gamma rays, a visualization tool which revealed that—contrary to the expected ...

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 ...

NASA sent a retired Cold War spy plane on a storm-chasing mission, and it discovered that big thunderstorms are very radioactive. Large thunderstorms produce so much gamma radiation that the clouds ...

An explosion — about 100 times brighter than previously recorded — blinded scientists' instruments. Scientists marveled at the power of the gamma-ray jet, which likely marked the birth of a black hole ...

Above the cloud tops, thunderstorms throb with a complex, frenetic light show of high-energy radiation. A view from a retrofitted spy plane soaring at 20 kilometers up revealed storms glowing and ...
