There is, however, an unexplained faint gamma-ray glow from the Galactic Center ... that we may have been overlooking its ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- An international team of astronomers has observed extremely rapid bursts of high-energy gamma rays from a distant galaxy, an observation that is challenging how astronomers ...

New research suggests that the largest cosmic structure is even bigger and closer to Earth than we knew. It goes against ...

This effect captures the energy from highly-penetrating gamma rays indirectly, by coupling a photovoltaic solar cell to a scintillator crystal that emits visible light when it absorbs radiation. This ...

Who says nothing good came out of massive nuclear arsenals? DT-590A / PDR-56 Gamma ray probes were made obsolete by the US Air Force a few years ago and they’re trickling into military surplus ...

If dark matter is creating positrons in the CMZ, those particles will eventually slow down and eventually annihilate with electrons in the environment, producing gamma-rays at exactly 511keV energy.

It consists of using radiation in its different forms (X-rays, Gamma rays, particles ... in the path of the beam can also be irradiated. To reduce this effect, higher-energy beams are used for deeper ...
