Cosmic rays are made primarily of protons with a few electrons sprinkled in, and they can reach energies even higher than ...

The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...

University of Arizona researchers have demonstrated a promising new application for graphene nanoribbons, a nanoscale ...

A multi-sensor detection of an intense gamma-ray flash, which occurs when two lightning leaders collided, has been observed. Observations across a wide radiation spectrum enabled precise measurement ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope "detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light" from a nearby supernova. NASA ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new discovery in space science. The first burst was discovered in the late 1960s. You might be wondering ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins may be closing in on dark matter’s elusive trail, uncovering a mysterious gamma ray glow at the heart of our galaxy that could signal unseen matter colliding — or perhaps ...

New research has failed to rule out self-annihilating dark matter as the source of a gamma-ray emission radiating from the heart of the Milky Way.

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new field in space science. The first was discovered in the late 1960s, and in the nearly six decades since, there’s never been a discovery quite like this. It may ...
