Back in October of 2022, astronomers around the world were baffled and awed by the largest gamma-radiation burst we've ever recorded. The burst was so powerful, in fact, that it has been nicknamed the ...

Scientists have tracked a high-energy blast of radiation back to the collision of two neutron stars and the kilonova explosion that resulted from the violent merger. The discovery could change ...

An international team of astronomers obtained observational evidence for the creation of rare heavy elements in the aftermath of a cataclysmic explosion triggered by the merger of two neutron stars.

The brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, resulting from the collapse and subsequent explosion of a massive star, was first detected by space observatories in October 2022. Now, an ...

A massive burst of gamma rays produced by the explosion of a star almost two billion light-years away was so powerful that it changed Earth’s atmosphere, according to scientists. Gamma rays are the ...

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 ...

An international team of astronomers — including Clemson University astrophysicist Dieter Hartmann — obtained observational evidence for the creation of rare heavy elements in the aftermath of a ...
