Japanese researchers captured rare gamma-ray flash from lightning collision using advanced multi-sensor detection system.

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a ...

Scientists have observed an intense burst of radiation with the collision of two lightning paths. A study led by The University of Osaka observed the incident using a multi-sensor. Known as a ...

When Lightning Strikes, So Do Gamma Rays. On January 30, 2023, at 01:13 AM local time, lightning struck Tower 1. A downward ...

"Gamma-ray bursts can be seen at incredibly large distances because they are so luminous." Hakkila says that because gamma-ray bursts are related to dying stars or the collision of two dead stars ...

This visible-light afterglow can be photographed with medium to large-sized telescopes on Earth for hours, days, or even weeks following the initial gamma-ray burst. The afterglow starts to fade ...

before we can jump into our gamma ray-powered rockets to explore the neighboring galaxy, scientists have to overcome the beam coherence problem. Back in 2019, University of California, Riverside ...

"Fortunately, we detected a TGF with the full network." Scientists know thunderstorms emit very short TGFs, as well as longer gamma-ray flashes, which can last from minutes to hours. But thunderstorms ...

A gamma-ray burst is a cataclysmic event caused by star death or the merger of black holes or neutron stars. It only lasts ...

A world-first multi-sensor detection of an intense gamma-ray flash has been observed by researchers from The University of ...

Thunderstorms are known to generate gamma rays, the highest energy radiation on Earth. But pinning the burst to a specific bolt is new.

Scientists were trying to unravel the mystery of gamma ray bursts detected during lightning storms when they witnessed ...
