From lightning to the death of electrons, the highest-energy form of light is everywhere. Gamma rays are the most energetic type of light, packing a punch strong enough to pierce through metal or ...

The latest sky maps produced by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope combine seven years of observations. Maps from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope literally show the universe in a different light.

gamma rays—until relatively recently in human history. "If it's true that our insistence of symmetry in the laws of nature is largely a selection effect because of how our brain works ...

And that may explain the weird symmetry in pulses of some of the most energetic light in the universe, called gamma-ray bursts. These cryptic bursts — bright flashes of gamma-ray light that come ...

Previous gamma-ray telescopes have also seen this light ... with her work appearing in APS News, Symmetry magazine, Scientific American, Nature News, Physics World, and others.

Photons streaming from gamma-ray bursts have thus far shown no changes in the rotation of their polarity. Such a rotation would indicate a lack of symmetry if time were reversed and particles and ...

Simply stated, CP violation or CP symmetry means that the laws of particle ... the magnetic field was inferred by the way it deflected gamma rays of various energy passing through it.

An exotic version of an atomic nucleus is doing double duty. A study of the hypertriton simultaneously confirms a basic symmetry of nature and potentially reveals new insights into what lurks ...
