Before this research, scientists didn't recognize that some nearby gamma-ray bursts are also part of this massive structure. The finding is extraordinary because the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great ...

That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a great circuit to measure even relatively weak radiation sources. It uses a very small photodiode, and draws so little ...

It's not easy to imagine how high the frequency of a high-energy gamma ray is. During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will ...

"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 ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic events ever observed in the universe. These powerful outbursts can shine a quintillion (1018) times brighter than the sun. Since they were first ...

Since Gamma Ray Bar opened off Capitol Square on June 1, its purple front door at 121 W. Main St. has been a wormhole to another galaxy inhabited by music and dance. The combined bar and music venue ...
