Brave New World is about to hit cinemas, bringing with it the gamma-ray-powered Red Hulk. Here's what you need to know about ...

A newly detected cosmic explosion, EP240408a, could be the result of a white dwarf's death, creating a high-speed jet. It ...

The event is designated EP240408a, as it was first detected by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on 8 April 2024.

Highly energetic explosions in the sky are commonly attributed to gamma-ray bursts. We now understand that these bursts ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) and by analyzing archival Arecibo Observatory data, ...

A neutrino telescope, therefore, is a giant exercise in statistics. Observe lots of atoms for a long time and sooner or later ...

Three and a half kilometers beneath the Mediterranean Sea, KM3NeT, a deep-sea telescope, detected the most energetic neutrino ever found, marking a major advancement in understanding extreme cosmic ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American ...

After monitoring the burst at radio wavelengths for a period of three months, the team of astronomers behind the detection confirmed that the energy output was consistent with a gamma-ray burst ...

Now, a new study led by Carnegie Mellon University suggests that the powerful burst of high-energy radiation was either a rare jetted tidal disruption event or, perhaps, an entirely new type of ...
