In the past, Habs explains, it was not possible to produce a sufficiently mono-energetic source of gamma rays to actually measure the refractive indices of materials at such extreme energies, so the ...

This study uncovers terrestrial gamma-ray flashes produced by lightning, offering new insights into Earth's powerful ...

When Lightning Strikes, So Do Gamma Rays. On January 30, 2023, at 01:13 AM local time, lightning struck Tower 1. A downward ...

Eye in the sky: NASA's Fermi gamma-ray telescope may have caught a glimpse of dark ... an astroparticle physicist at Annecy-le-Vieux Theoretical Physics Lab in France, who wrote a commentary piece to ...

In a record-breaking discovery, scientists detected our very own sun emitting an extraordinary amount of gamma rays — wavelengths ... for the future of solar physics. In fact, they have already ...

“The next step is to probe gamma-ray bursts over very long time scales,” said Taylor. “How the emission changes over time tells us the physics taking place.” Scientists hope to ...

While the gamma ray laser (also known as a “graser”) is still conceptual, it’s considered one of the most important problems in physics. Invisible to our eyes, gamma rays burst from ...

Delayed gamma rays from deep space may provide the first evidence for physics beyond current theories. The MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescope found that high-energy ...

A multi-sensor detection of an intense gamma-ray flash, which occurs when two lightning leaders collided, has been observed. Observations across a wide radiation spectrum enabled precise measurement ...

This site presents the energy and photon intensity of gamma rays as seen in thermal-neutron capture in two tables ... The research was supported, in part, by the Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of ...
