Picture taking the single most energetic explosion the universe produces and hurling it directly at one of the most powerful ...

Researchers spotted an unusual gamma-ray signal in three galaxy clusters, which may be a telltale sign of dark matter – or ...

Gamma rays are among the most powerful types of radiation in nature and a key area of interest in the search for dark matter, especially for scientists who support the WIMP theory. As per their name, ...

For decades, scientists have puzzled over why certain atomic nuclei unexpectedly produce large numbers of low-energy gamma ...

For decades, physicists have used a technique called Mössbauer spectroscopy to peer inside solid materials, revealing fine ...

A collapsing star drives a shock wave out through its own body. The wave reaches the surface and breaks through, dumping ...

Astronomers have identified the highest-energy gamma-ray source known so far, with observations showing that ...

Scientists have learned that thunderstorms create antimatter. Electrons collide with particles to make gamma rays, which then ...

Heat-resilient biofertilizers could help crops cope with rising temperatures but engineering them has been slow and uncertain. A new study at the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new discovery in space science. The first burst was discovered in the late 1960s. You might be wondering ...

Gamma-ray bursts are among the most powerful explosions observed in the universe. First accidentally detected by Vela satellites in 1967, they puzzled scientists for decades. Research later showed ...

Scientists traced a mysterious surge of low-energy gamma rays from zinc-70 to magnetic changes occurring inside its nucleus. The breakthrough could improve models of how stars, supernovae, and neutron ...
