Scientists have announced the discovery of nearly 300 gamma ray pulsars. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in conjunction with the international Fermi Large Area Telescope Collaboration, ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a game-changing perovskite material that can be used as a cheaper and highly efficient alternative to gamma-ray detectors. Perovskites are materials made up of organic ...

Gamma rays can only be detected by sensors made of dense metals and takes over six feet (1.8 meters) of concrete to block. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Gamma irradiation of food is a simple, reliable, and mature technology. However, more use of alternative irradiation technologies, based on electrically generated sources, would help complement the ...

Researchers from Skoltech, MEPhI, and the Dukhov All-Russian Research Institute of Automation have proposed a new method to create compact gamma-ray sources that are simultaneously brighter, sharper, ...

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 ...

The positions of the cataloged pulsars shown in a top-down view of the Milky Way. The red and orange symbols indicate millisecond pulsars, while the green and blue symbols indicate young, unrecycled ...
