In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists have recreated "cosmic fireballs" here on Earth in a particle accelerator.The ...

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This ...

Gamma-ray spectroscopy is a vital analytical technique employed in identifying and quantifying radioactive nuclides, while artificial neural networks (ANNs) have emerged as robust computational tools ...

Andrew Taylor waited nine years to catch a gamma-ray burst in action. His patience finally paid off on August 29, 2019 when Taylor, a researcher at the German Electron Synchrotron, and his teammates ...

An experiment on the side of an extinct volcano in Mexico involving gamma rays is helping scientists answer a fundamental question in physics: Is the speed of light the same throughout the universe?

A new study suggests the Milky Way’s gamma-ray glow could be a dark matter signal shaped by ancient galactic mergers.

Watch an animation of a black hole shooting jets of particles through a "collapsing star at nearly the speed of light" and ...

In January 2019, researchers detected gamma-ray burst (GRB) 190114C. They caught this quick explosion right in the act and observed the most energetic photons ever seen from a gamma-ray burst. This ...

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 ...
