A researcher identified gamma ray emissions that appear to have originated from dark matter, but other physicists still aren’t convinced. Reading time 4 minutes Astronomers have spent nearly a century ...

Astronomers are trying to understand what caused a series of gamma ray bursts, or GRBs — the most powerful explosions in the universe. These energetic bursts are typically unleashed by the incendiary ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing ...

In 2025, astronomers detected a blast from space. Now they’re uncovering the strange processes behind the exceptional ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has provided what may be the first clear detection of gamma rays from a superluminous ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins may be closing in on dark matter’s elusive trail, uncovering a mysterious gamma ray glow at the heart of our galaxy that could signal unseen matter colliding — or perhaps ...

Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most violent eruptions. In findings published in Nature Astronomy, scientists ...

Artist's rendition of GRB 250702B's ultra-relativistic jet (moving at nearly the speed of light) escaping from its dusty, massive host galaxy. Astronomers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel ...

Researchers from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have conducted a new study on the temporal evolution of the afterglow from gamma-ray burst GRB 240825A. The study offers ...

The overlap and dynamic variation of measurement areas have long been key factors affecting the accuracy of airborne gamma-ray measurements. Addressing this challenge critically depends on the ...
