Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the brightest explosions in the universe. In just a few seconds, they can outshine all the stars in their host galaxy combined, releasing more energy than our sun will emit ...

Astronomers have discovered a new source that confirmed the fact that binary systems with strong colliding stellar winds comprise a separate new population of high-energy gamma-ray sources. Analyzing ...

Nearly 1,000 light-years from where you're sitting lies a spinning, highly magnetized neutron star that is so dense, a tablespoon of it equals something like the weight of Mount Everest. It's an ...

The high-energy radiation that carries orbit angular momentum has become an extremely important tool to investigate the angular momentum-related physics in the microworld. But the generation and ...

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is a sensitive multi-elemental analytical technique, and nuclear process, that is used to determine the concentration of a range of trace elements. It is a technique ...
