Explosions typically connected to black holes and dying stars may happen right in our planet's atmosphere, too. The most powerful explosions in the known universe come from what are known as gamma ...

A sudden, record-breaking gamma-ray burst lit up the cosmos—leaving scientists stunned and searching for answers. the powerful flash, brighter than anything seen before, could change what we ...

This Coordinated Research Project (CRP) aims to advance the use of gamma-ray spectrometry (GRS) as an innovative, non-invasive, and scalable nuclear technique to assess key soil properties—including ...

However, NGC 1068’s gamma ray emission is significantly lower than expected and shows a distinctly different spectral shape. Traditional models, including those based on proton-photon collisions ...

But Burns wondered whether the flare might create a traceable gamma ray as well. He looked at gamma ray data from the last observed giant magnetar flare, which appeared in December 2004 and was ...

Abstract: In this work, we report the synthesis and inclusion of rationally designed organotin compounds in polystyrene matrices as a route towards plastic scintillators capable of gamma-ray ...

Have you ever had an X-ray taken of your bones? Well, so has the Milky Way. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory regularly images our home galaxy, and a recent scan caught something that might be ...

Abstract: Pulse height spectra of various sources covering X-ray and gamma ray energies from 10 keV to 6.1 MeV were measured by the first large O19/spl times/19 mm/sup 3/ LaBr/sub 3/:0.5% Ce/sup 3+/ ...

They also leveraged the Spectroscopy Soft and Tender 2 (SST-2) beamline to take X-ray spectroscopy measurements that revealed the chemical makeup of the layers. The BMM and SST-2 beamlines at NSLS ...
