Gamma radiation does not consist of particles but as short wavelength, high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from unstable nuclei. It is normally emitted alongside alpha or beta radiation.

When unstable nuclei disintegrate or decay, certain particles - alpha or beta particles - or bundles of energy called gamma radiation, are emitted. Atoms and molecules in the path of radiation are ...

Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements. Man has always been exposed to natural radiation arising from the earth as well as from outside the ...

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 ...

In this diagram of G-protein-coupled receptor activation, the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits are shown with distinct relationships to the plasma membrane. After exchange of GDP with GTP on the ...
