The positions of the cataloged pulsars shown in a top-down view of the Milky Way. The red and orange symbols indicate millisecond pulsars, while the green and blue symbols indicate young, unrecycled ...

Silicon photomultipliers will provide a core enabling technology in the Cherenkov Telescope Array, the world’s largest and most sensitive gamma-ray observatory Eye in the sky: Hamamatsu Photonics has ...

Gamma-rays are the highest energy (the shortest wavelength) type of electromagnetic radiation. They are classified as a type of an ionising radiation; with respect to alpha and beta particles they ...

A scientist in California has taken steps toward a long-sought gamma ray laser by harnessing positronium bubbles in special liquid helium. Positronium is a volatile, short-lived atom that seems kind ...

High energy scans or the body looking for tumors or infections could be greatly improved by adopting perovskite detectors ...

Scientists have created a perovskite-based gamma-ray detector that surpasses traditional nuclear medicine imaging technology.

New data on the gamma-ray burst "GRB 221009A", observed in October 2022, confirm theoretical models suggesting that these bursts of exceptionally intense electromagnetic waves generate ...

Scientists have developed a game-changing perovskite material that can be used as a cheaper and highly efficient alternative to gamma-ray detectors. Perovskites are materials made up of organic ...

A supercomputer simulation of a mere 10 milliseconds in the collapse of a massive star into a neutron star proves that these catastrophic events, often called hypernovae, can generate the enormous ...
