A new study explains how thunderstorm electric fields produce strong gamma‐ray glows with oscillating gamma‐ray rates, and that these oscillations develop into intense pulse trains that closely ...

The cosmic pinwheel that astronomers feared could one day shower Earth with lethal gamma rays may not be as dangerous as once ...

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

An unusual gamma-ray burst has challenged existing astrophysical models, leaving scientists searching for answers. This deep-space event defies expectations, hinting at new cosmic processes we may ...

The same result is obtained when studying the pulse-height from the gamma-rays emitted by different substances. There is, in this case, a continuous distribution of pulses from zero to a certain ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (Integral) was launched on October 17, 2002 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Its mission was to observe the ...

Since then other types of pulsars that emit X-rays and gamma rays have also been spotted. Pulsars are essentially rotating, highly magnetised neutron stars but when they were first discovered it ...

This was the life of Jack Nicholson back in the day, and now the existence of son Ray Nicholson. The on-the-rise actor has two new movies in theaters this weekend: action comedy “Novocaine ...

Electromagnetic radiation is the general term for the more familiar light and radio waves, but also includes gamma rays, x rays, ultraviolet rays, and infrared. All of these forms of electromagnetic ...
