Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers have investigated the emission properties ...

One of those detections was EP240408a, an unusual blast that lit up discussions between astronomers. Zhang and his colleagues ...

In 2018, it was revealed that a pioneering telescope the size of Earth had taken, for the first time, an image of a black hole. That same instrument, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), has now ...

Scientists discover low-mass microquasars can accelerate cosmic rays, reshaping theories on high-energy particle origins.

Brave New World is about to hit cinemas, bringing with it the gamma-ray-powered Red Hulk. Here's what you need to know about ...

The event is designated EP240408a, as it was first detected by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on 8 April 2024.

Called electromagnetic radiation, such waves travel at the speed of light and bring us almost all the information we have about the universe. Gamma rays are much shorter in wavelength than visible ...

It does this by emitting a high energy electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray. Gamma radiation does not consist of particles but as short wavelength, high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted ...

revealing nothing about the energy of the radiation. For that, you need something like this gamma-ray spectroscope. Dubbed the Pomelo by [mihai.cuciuc], the detector is a homebrew solid-state ...
