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

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

Using various telescopes, an international team of astronomers has performed multi-wavelength observations of a recently ...

WASHINGTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Scientists may be coming closer to confirming the existence of dark matter - the invisible stuff thought to make up more than a quarter of the cosmos - as they study a ...

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 ...

Unlike ordinary black holes, which form when massive stars collapse at the end of their lives, primordial black holes are hypothetical objects thought to have formed less than a second after the Big ...

GRB 250702B was spotted in July. ESO / A. Levan, A. Martin-Carrillo et al. Astronomers have spotted a gamma-ray explosion unlike any they’ve seen before, with the help of multiple telescopes, ...

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 ...
