The light that the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope collected to create this image reached the telescope after a journey of ...

In October 2022, a blast of light from deep space outshone anything humanity has ever witnessed. The gamma-ray burst, later named “The BOAT,” unleashed more energy in seconds than our sun will emit in ...

A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before ...

A new class of composites with tunable microstructures offers better shielding from neutron and gamma radiation.

Since its commissioning, SVOM has detected over 100 gamma-ray bursts. These phenomena release colossal energy in just a few seconds—sometimes even less! One of them, observed in March 2025, turned out ...

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium ...

A report found that of 361 systems installed since 2019, 166 (46%) were inoperable at some point, sometimes for as long as ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Unlike typical infrared night-vision goggles, these contact lenses do not require a power source — and they enable the wearer to perceive different infrared wavelengths that show up in various ...

For years, astronomers puzzled over the mystery of where the heaviest elements in the universe—like gold, uranium, and platinum—come from. Scientists understood that these elements had to form under ...
