Highly energetic explosions in the sky are commonly attributed to gamma-ray bursts. We now understand that these bursts originate from either the merger of two neutron stars or the collapse of a ...

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

The Einstein Probe detected a 17-minute soft X-ray burst from 12.5 billion light-years away, challenging gamma-ray burst ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

For that, you need something like this gamma-ray spectroscope. Dubbed the Pomelo by [mihai.cuciuc], the detector is a homebrew solid-state scintillation counter made from a thallium-doped cesium ...

Recently, China’s Tianguan satellite (Einstein Probe Satellite) detected a gamma-ray burst EP240315a. It's the first time to ...

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle accelerators, which leads to a significant impact on the interpretation of the ...

On March 15, 2024, a space-based observatory detected bursts of low-energy X-rays from deep in the ancient universe, ...

The authors explored the recombination dynamics and defect concentration of a mixed cation mixed halide perovskite ...

A high-tech sensor designed and built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has now traveled farther than 250 ...
