It's not easy to imagine how high the frequency of a high-energy gamma ray is. During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

An observatory high in the mountains of Mexico has recorded repeated emission of some of the highest-energy gamma rays ever recorded from a single point close to the galactic center. The nature of ...

Satellites captured images of how the gamma blast lit up dust rings in space Scientists have revealed how Nasa satellites detected the brightest gamma ray explosion in space. The gamma-ray burst ...

Normally when people think of gamma rays -- bursts of an incredibly high-energy form of light -- they are coming from out of this world, such as solar flares, exploding stars or black holes ...

Jamie Carter is an award-winning reporter who covers the night sky. A massive burst of gamma rays produced by the explosion of a star almost two billion light-years away was so powerful that it ...

is particularly valuable as a non-destructive nuclear method in the measurement of elements that do not form neutron capture products with delayed gamma ray emissions. Inaccurate and incomplete data ...

It does this by emitting a high energy electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray. Gamma radiation does not consist of particles but as short wavelength, high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted ...
