Gamma rays can only be detected by sensors made of dense metals and takes over six feet (1.8 meters) of concrete to block.

In a recent study, scientists found that some portions of the sun emit more intense gamma ray radiation than others.

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.

Using a combination of telescopes, astronomers have characterized the closest supernova linked to a fast X-ray transient. The ...

Gamma-ray burst charged Earth’s ionosphere from 2 billion light-years away The brightest supernova ever detected altered the outer layers of Earth's atmosphere.

They have discovered that gamma rays, produced during the deuterium-tritium nuclear reaction, can serve as a precise and alternative means of measuring the power output of new fusion reactors.

The first gamma-ray bursts were discovered by accident in the 1960's, by spy satellites looking for gamma-rays from secret nuclear bomb tests.

An enormous gamma-ray burst from a dying star was the most powerful recorded, scientists have said.

An unusual, long-lasting gamma-ray burst challenges theories about how they work In a few seconds, a gamma-ray burst emits as much energy as the Sun will radiate in its entire life ...

The lack of observed gamma rays from a recent supernova has cast doubt on the generally-accepted idea that exploding stars are a major source of cosmic rays. The observation was made using NASA’s ...

An artist’s concept of a burst of gamma rays — which are invisible — provoking a disturbance in Earth’s ionosphere. ESA/ATG Europe ...

Scientists have discovered that the Sun produces higher energy light than was thought possible. An unusual type of telescope detected gamma rays with energies of over 1 tera electron volt (TeV ...
