Depending on the circumstances you find yourself in, a Geiger counter can be a tremendously useful tool. With just a click or a chirp, it can tell you if any invisible threats lurk. But a Geiger ...

Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ...

In 2022, astronomers discovered the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) of all time. Now, astronomers confirm that a 'normal' supernova, the telltale sign of a stellar collapse, accompanied the GRB. The ...

Scientists have been all aflutter since several space-based detectors picked up a powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) in October 2022—a burst so energetic that astronomers nicknamed it the BOAT (Brightest ...

A research team led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a breakthrough discovery. They identified a gamma-ray spectrum line with an energy of up to 37 ...

This study is led by Prof. Shaolin Xiong (Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Jirong Mao (Yunnan Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Shuang-Nan ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense, transient cosmic events, typically originating from massive stellar collapses or mergers of compact objects, which serve as crucial probes for understanding the ...

WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - About two billion years ago in a galaxy far beyond our Milky Way, a big star met its demise in a massive explosion called a supernova that unleashed a huge burst of ...

Did you know that the world around us is filled with different types of light waves ? From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action ...
