Syndication Dark matter could help us understand the origins of gamma radiation January 14, 2020 - 1:09 pm A faint glow of gamma radiation — the unresolved gamma-ray background — fills the sky.

Scientists traced a high-energy blast of radiation - called a gamma-ray burst - to the merger of two neutron stars and an explosion called a kilanova that resulted from the cosmic collision.

On November 12, 2023, a huge burst of gamma radiation hit the European Space Agency’s orbiting INTEGRAL satellite. The rush of radiation lasted just one-tenth of a second, but immediately, an ...

Most tropical lightning storms are akin to massive pots of boiling water — but emitting bursts of gamma radiation instead of steam, according to reports in Nature. Those bursts also occur more ...

In the 1990s, NASA satellites built to spot high-energy particles coming from supernovae and other celestial-sized objects discovered a surprise—high energy gamma radiation bursts coming from ...

Thunderstorms create a lot of wind, rain, and lightning, but many people aren’t necessarily aware of another common byproduct: gamma radiation. Thanks to a creative retrofit of an old U-2 spy ...

The discovery represents the first evidence that low-mass T.Tauri stars, which are less than 10 million years old, can emit gamma radiation.

Previous computer simulations have revealed that passengers flying within 200 meters of a strong terrestrial gamma-ray flash’s initiation point may become exposed to radiation doses exceeding 0. ...
