Dark matter could be a type of matter in the universe that does not emit, absorb or reflect detectable light and appears to ...

Gamma rays from the explosion lasted roughly a third of a second. The X-rays kept going for what the research team calls ...

A reanalysis of cosmic gamma-ray measurements found no evidence of the tested departures from Lorentz invariance. The researchers tightened limits on specific photon-sector parameters by about a ...

Sarah Dalessi, a fifth-year student in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, is the lead author of a paper published in ...

Gamma-ray binaries are interacting stellar pairs in which a compact object—usually a neutron star or black hole—orbits a massive companion, generating high-energy photons through particle acceleration ...

This article predates Brown Brothers Media’s ownership of Science Blog and has not been reviewed under our current editorial process. It is preserved as part of the publication’s archive. AMES, Iowa – ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy charged particles, predominantly protons and atomic nuclei, that permeate the Galaxy. As they traverse the interstellar medium, they encounter gas, dust and photon fields, ...

Indonesian researchers used gamma radiation and PEG-simulated osmotic stress in hydroponics to identify drought-tolerant ...

Researchers supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation discovered a source of intense gamma rays released during solar flares, offering a new insight that could enhance space weather ...

Heat-resilient biofertilizers could help crops cope with rising temperatures but engineering them has been slow and uncertain. A new study at the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology ...

In the quiet laboratories of Bengaluru, a beam of gamma radiation has done something remarkable to an unassuming mulberry plant. Researchers bombarded juvenile twigs of the S54 mulberry variety with ...
