NASA supercomputer simulations reveal X-ray and gamma-ray signals emitted in the final milliseconds before neutron star mergers, providing insights for future observatories and gravitational-wave ...

A team of scientists from Argentina and Spain have reported the first observational evidence that a type of young low-mass star, known as T Tauri stars, are capable of emitting gamma radiation. The ...

In the recent edition of Nature, groundbreaking results about the gamma-ray emissions produced during thunderstorms are presented. Overall, these findings reveal that gamma-ray emission from ...

Thor and the Hulk may be more closely related than we thought. Thunderstorms are known to produce gamma rays in the atmosphere, but a new study has found that not only do they happen way more often ...

"A lot of the work that's currently being done in this field is looking at alternatives to lead for gamma protection," said Terry Thiem.

In the final moments before two neutron stars collide, their magnetic fields spiral into chaos, twisting and snapping as they unleash high-energy radiation into space. Using a NASA supercomputer, ...

A newly discovered dwarf galaxy orbiting our own Milky Way has offered up a surprise it appears to be radiating gamma rays, according to an analysis by physicists at Carnegie Mellon, Brown and ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Gamma-ray binaries represent one of the most dynamic and intriguing classes of high-energy astrophysical systems. These binaries typically consist of a massive star and a compact object – often a ...
