LSU researchers helped uncover what may be the first clear detection of gamma rays from a superluminous supernova, using data ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...

The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF). Researchers at the University of Osaka ...

For more than a decade, physicists hunting dark matter in the Milky Way’s core kept circling the same clue: a faint glow of ...

A multi-sensor detection of an intense gamma-ray flash, which occurs when two lightning leaders collided, has been observed. Observations across a wide radiation spectrum enabled precise measurement ...

For decades, scientists have been trying to solve a mystery: Where do high-energy cosmic rays come from? These charged particles travel from outer space to Earth, but their origins remain unknown. Now ...

China’s Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), a major scientific infrastructure, has released groundbreaking results from its "Mini Survey of the Milky Way" program. With unprecedented ...

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory has detected ultra-high-energy gamma rays, exceeding 100 TeV, from the gamma-ray binary LS I +61° 303 for the first time. The finding suggests the system ...
