Scientists have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever from a dead star called a pulsar. The energy of these gamma rays clocked in at 20 tera-electronvolts, or about ten trillion times the ...

SAN FRANCISCO — The most energetic particles in the electromagnetic spectrum could pose a danger to commercial airline passengers. About every 3000 hours of flying time, a plane is hit with a ...

On the other side of the spectrum, light with wavelengths slightly shorter than 380 nanometers is known as ultraviolet. Beyond that come X-rays and beyond that still come gamma rays.

Scientists using the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever from a dead star called a pulsar. The energy of these gamma rays clocked in at 20 tera ...

An undated artistic impression depicts the effect of a powerful blast of gamma rays that provoked a significant disturbance in Earth’s ionosphere, the result of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) from a ...

Gamma rays are the most energetic waves of light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Large bursts of gamma radiation from distant galaxies can help us learn about the volatile early days of the universe.

The sun also emits much more powerful gamma rays, which are the most energetic waves on an electromagnetic spectrum. Each gamma ray photon carries a billion times as much energy as an ultraviolet ...

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. In just a few seconds, a gamma-ray burst blasts out the same amount of energy that the Sun will radiate throughout its entire life.
