This gamma ray conversion, astrophysicist Tim Linden said, probably takes place 100 to 1,000 kilometers below the sun’s surface, where the magnetic field is strong enough to turn the cosmic rays ...

The team combined 13 years of gamma ray data from NASA's Fermi Large Area Telescope to analyze the cosmic gamma-ray background. The researchers found a gamma-ray dipole, but its peak was located ...

A new IAEA coordinated research project ( CRP D12015) will apply gamma-ray spectrometry and digital technologies such as drones, satellite imagery and advanced analytics for precise soil assessment to ...

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.

Yet, in 2022, astronomers discovered two long gamma-ray bursts that didn't quite fir in with patterns of other radiation blasts of this type. These bursts thus couldn't be created in the collapse ...

Astronomers studying archival observations of powerful explosions called short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have detected light patterns indicating the brief existence of a superheavy neutron star ...

Gamma rays hit the coded aperture first, casting a pattern on the CZT array below. The pattern is used to reconstruct the original properties of the radiation beam mathematically, ...

Thunderstorms are a 'boiling pot' of gamma rays, scientists find Big thunderstorms continuously emit gamma rays that are undetectable from the ground, two studies said on Wednesday, upending what ...

Scientists warn that a gamma-ray burst (GRB)—one of the most powerful explosions in the universe—could severely damage Earth’s atmosphere, disrupting weather patterns, the ozone layer, and ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

Researchers had observed two forms of thunderstorm gamma-ray emissions: relatively long-lived “glows” lasting hundreds of seconds, as well as intense, microsecond-scale bursts known as ...

Yet, in 2022, astronomers discovered two long gamma-ray bursts that didn't quite fir in with patterns of other radiation blasts of this type. These bursts thus couldn't be created in the collapse ...
