Studies that explore how the denser sections of atoms, known as atomic nuclei, interact with neutrons (i.e., particles with ...

"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 ...

An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed ...

Key to the success of the technique is the discovery of recoilless gamma ray emission and absorption, now referred to as the 'Mössbauer Effect', after its discoverer Rudolph Mössbauer, who first ...

Every now and again, the night sky lights up with a spectacular explosion that blazes with the most energetic light our Universe can produce. Known as gamma-ray bursts, they can release in a few ...

It's not easy to imagine how high the frequency of a high-energy gamma ray is. During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will ...

In October 2022, scientists detected the explosive death of a star 2.4 billion light-years away that was brighter than any ...

I have therefore tried to determine the pulse-height corresponding to those photo-electrons which are created at the absorption of the gamma-rays in the phosphor.
