This unique gamma-ray source will generate a beam of gamma rays like those that existed in the first minutes of our universe after the Big Bang. The high-flux, monochromatic and energy-tunable gamma ...

Gamma-rays are the highest energy (the shortest wavelength) type of electromagnetic radiation. They are classified as a type of an ionising radiation; with respect to alpha and beta particles they ...

Data collected using multiple NSF NOIRLab facilities reveal a gamma-ray burst that lasted more than seven hours and ...

A supercomputer simulation of a mere 10 milliseconds in the collapse of a massive star into a neutron star proves that these catastrophic events, often called hypernovae, can generate the enormous ...

A supernova from the early universe looks unexpectedly familiar, challenging ideas about how the first massive stars lived ...

Sarah Dalessi, a fifth-year student in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The ...

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 ...

Astronomers have spotted the longest gamma-ray burst ever seen, a cosmic explosion that lasted seven hours — and they ...

Above the cloud tops, thunderstorms throb with a complex, frenetic light show of high-energy radiation. A view from a retrofitted spy plane soaring at 20 kilometers up revealed storms glowing and ...

A NASA-funded scientist has produced a new type of picture of the Earth from space, which complements the familiar image of our “blue marble”. This new picture is the first detailed image of our ...

RI Research Instruments, a company that is majority-owned by Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR), today announced orders for key components and enabling subsystems for the research gamma ray source of ...
