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 ...

Gamma irradiation technology was established in the 1950’s and has developed to become the most commonly used irradiation sterilization technology. Today approximately 300 irradiation facilities ...

By analyzing the data from various space observatories and ground-based telescopes, European astronomers have performed a ...

A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly ...

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 ...

High energy scans or the body looking for tumors or infections could be greatly improved by adopting perovskite detectors instead of the fragile or low-resolution options currently in use, a new study ...

Complex lead halides with the perovskite structure has been extensively studied in recent years in terms of radiation hardness. Many researchers found surprisingly high resistance of various ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...
