“Peat soils have a unique ability to block this type of naturally occurring radiation, drastically reducing the number of ...

At the start of the year, the European Commission established the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), furthering its mission to become ...

Earth is naturally radioactive, so we are all constantly exposed to a small amount of background radiation. Additionally, gamma rays are used in medicine, including in radiotherapy-based cancer ...

BL Lacertae blazar shifts between classifications faster than expected. It shows record X-ray activity and challenges current ...

SPACE is a deadly place – and we’re all living at its mercy on a little blue rock. Thankfully we know that asteroid 2024 YR4 won’t be crashing into us after all, but that’s not ...

Blazars are active galaxies that emit narrow jets of ionized matter from their centers, aimed towards Earth. Depending on ...

ESA’s Integral observed space for 22 years, uncovering gamma-ray bursts, black holes, and gravitational waves.

Is it possible that dark matter, which makes up 85% of the cosmic matter budget, is simply a collection of primordial black ...

Irish researches have created a unique approach involving gamma rays to find more peat soil spread throughout the country.

The Cherenkov Telescope Array just got a major boost for distributing its data, a development that will expedite scientific discovery using the observatory.

This is because the particles or rays become more spread out. The thicker the substance, the more the radiation is absorbed. Alpha, beta and gamma radiations penetrate materials in different ways.
