Captain America: 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 that high-energy radiation.

Compton chemistry 101. Compton cameras are used to determine the direction and energy of gamma rays using a phenomenon called "Compton scattering."Compton scattering happens when a high-energy ...

Sometimes, a gamma ray will run into an atom and produce an electron and a positron, which is an electron's antimatter opposite. This illustration shows electrons accelerating upward from a ...

Far more of the 125,000 atom-bomb casualties at Hiroshima and Nagasaki than were first reported came from the explosion's X-ray-like radiations. This fact, which medicine has long suspected, was ...

IT has long been known that some of the radio-elements emit a penetrating type of X-rays known as the gamma rays. It is clear that these radiations arising from the nucleus of the radioactive atom ...

The process begins with a gamma-ray photon inelastically (Compton) scattering from the first layer. The photon is then absorbed by the second layer. By using position information from the detection of ...

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. In just a few seconds, a gamma-ray burst blasts out the same amount of energy that the Sun will radiate throughout its entire life.

A gamma ray burst — possibly the brightest of all time — sweeps over Earth The explosion, dubbed GRB 221009A, came just as astronomers were gathering at a symposium on gamma-ray astrophysics ...

A huge surge of gamma-ray energy from space caused electric currents to flow through the surface of the Earth on October 9, scientists have said.. This gamma-ray burst, named GRB221009A, is the ...

This gamma ray conversion, astrophysicist Tim Linden said, probably takes place 100 to 1,000 kilometers below the sun’s surface, where the magnetic field is strong enough to turn the cosmic rays ...
