Thunderstorms create a lot of wind, rain, and lightning, but many people aren’t necessarily aware of another common byproduct: gamma radiation. Thanks to a creative retrofit of an old U-2 spy ...

Armed with sensors to measure gamma rays, lightning flashes and microwave emissions, the team conducted 10 flights over storm clouds in the Caribbean and Central America, at an altitude of 20 km ...

A view from a retrofitted spy plane soaring at 20 kilometers up revealed storms glowing and flickering in gamma rays, high-energy light invisible to the eye. Ten flights with the plane ...

In the 1990s, NASA satellites built to spot high-energy particles coming from supernovae and other celestial-sized objects discovered a surprise—high energy gamma radiation bursts coming from ...

This site presents the energy and photon intensity of gamma rays as seen in thermal-neutron capture in two tables, one in ascending order of gamma energy and a second organized by Z, A of the target.

The new findings bring storm researchers one step closer to solving the mystery of how lightning forms Rudy Molinek Mass Media Fellow, AAAS An artist's rendering of gamma-ray glows observed during ...

This database offers a variety of tables for all natural elements and includes the following data: isotopic composition, thermal radiative cross section (total and partial), Westcott g-factors, energy ...

The MACE observatory is touted to place India at the forefront of cosmic ray research globally by allowing scientists to study high-energy gamma rays. This will pave the way for deeper ...

India now holds the honour of having the world's highest-altitude gamma ray telescope situated at 4,270 metres above sea level and it has the largest mirror in Asia. The Department of Atomic ...

It does this by emitting a high energy electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray. Gamma radiation does not consist of particles but as short wavelength, high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted ...
