Maps from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope literally show the universe in a different light. Today Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT) collaboration released the latest data from nearly seven years ...

Nuclear reactions are a major source of gamma rays. When an unstable uranium nucleus splits in the process of nuclear fission, it releases a lot of gamma rays in the process. Fission is used in both ...
