Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have uncovered the elusive source of intense gamma rays unleashed during solar flares. These ...

The longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded did not roar for seconds or even minutes, but for a staggering seven hours, forcing ...

Researchers may have identified what could be a compelling clue in the ongoing hunt to prove the existence of dark matter. A mysterious diffuse glow of gamma rays near the center of the Milky Way has ...

There appear to be too many gamma rays coming from the sun. New higher-energy measurements reveal that this excess continues for a bit, then disappears — a cutoff that could help clarify what’s going ...

Gamma rays can only be detected by sensors made of dense metals and takes over six feet (1.8 meters) of concrete to block. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.

NASA sent a retired Cold War spy plane on a storm-chasing mission, and it discovered that big thunderstorms are very radioactive. Large thunderstorms produce so much gamma radiation that the clouds ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing ...

Above the cloud tops, thunderstorms throb with a complex, frenetic light show of high-energy radiation. A view from a retrofitted spy plane soaring at 20 kilometers up revealed storms glowing and ...
