Quantum physics is a very diverse field: it describes particle collisions shortly after the Big Bang as well as electrons in ...

Gamma Ray Bursts, often called GRBs, are one of the universe’s most powerful phenomena. They are sudden, intense flashes of gamma rays that originate from distant galaxies. What's astonishing is that ...

In new research, we have for the first time tracked one of these pulsating signals back to its source: a common kind of lightweight star called a red dwarf, likely in a binary orbit with a white dwarf ...

Scientists have warned that Earth is well overdue for a solar 'superflare' - a stellar explosion containing the energy of ...

A ray gun that uses high-frequency radio waves to take out enemy drones and costs just 10p to fire has been successfully trialled by the British Army. The radio frequency-directed energy weapon ...

Previous studies showed that this bacteria could survive 25,000 grays (units of x- and gamma-rays) of radiation ... to help in space exploration. For example, these antioxidants could protect ...

After discussions between NASA and the Japanese Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS ... emitting and absorbing X-rays at energies characteristic of their various compositions, ...

chief scientist of the program and vice president of Macao University of Science and Technology, told the Global Times in an exclusive interview. "It is a successful example of leveraging the ...

The 25 ground-based and orbiting telescopes that comprise the EHT saw the outburst as high-energy light called gamma rays. Not only was this the first time M87* had flared since 2010, but the ...

“These efforts promise to shed light on the disk-jet connection and uncover the origins and mechanisms behind the gamma-ray photon emission,” Principe said. Ryan Whalen covers science and technology ...

Located in the Virgo constellation, the black hole in M87 is again surprising scientists – this time with a gamma-ray flare that emitted photons billions of times more energetic than those of visible ...

The authors report the first observation in over a decade of a high-energy gamma-ray flare (detecting photons up to thousands of billions of times the energy of visible light) from the supermassive ...
