where gamma-rays themselves are a high-energy form of light, can travel faster-than-light? That's what Dr. Jeff Landrum wants to know, asking: What gives? Is it really possible for gamma-rays to ...

If we could produce coherent gamma rays just as an ordinary laser produces coherent rays of visual light, the technology could unlock interstellar travel—as well as blow missiles out of the sky ...

The Franco-Chinese space mission SVOM has just entered a new phase: after nine months of testing, the satellite is officially ...

New research led by the University of Osaka reports the multi-sensor detection of an intense gamma-ray flash that occurred ...

"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 ...

Thunderstorms are known to generate gamma rays, the highest energy radiation on Earth. But pinning the burst to a specific bolt is new.

The greater the cosmic-ray energy, the greater its interaction cross-section, meaning it is more likely to interact with CMB ...

Normally when people think of gamma rays -- bursts of an incredibly high-energy form of light -- they are coming from out of this world, such as solar flares, exploding stars or black holes ...

which are bent like the light in a prism as they travel to earth, the gamma rays shoot straight to us. This reduces potential systemic errors in measurements." For Megan DeCesar, Ph.D., a George ...

Japanese researchers captured rare gamma-ray flash from lightning collision using advanced multi-sensor detection system.

Gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful bursts of energy ... disappear in 2025—Here's why After billions of light-years of travel, this GRB was still powerful enough to cause strange variations ...
