A bright flash of gamma rays from the constellation Boötes that lasted nearly one minute came from a kilonova, as we described in a new paper. This finding challenges what astronomers know about some ...

A lead halide material can detect and image single gamma-ray photons with both high-spatial and high-energy resolution ...

The crack of lightning has always seemed straightforward — clouds build up electric charge, and eventually, it snaps. But the chain of events that lights the sky has remained an atmospheric puzzle for ...

Scientists have created a perovskite-based gamma-ray detector that surpasses traditional nuclear medicine imaging technology. The device delivers sharper, faster, and safer scans at a fraction of the ...

Roland Crocker receives funding from the Australian Research Council. A glowing blob known as “the cocoon”, which appears to be inside one of the enormous gamma-ray emanations from the centre of our ...

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 ...

New findings indicate that intense and mysterious bursts of radiation originate from neutron star mergers that occurred in the early universe. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
