Among the most fascinating phenomena are gamma rays, the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. Recently, ...

When you think of a radiation detector, you’re probably thinking of a Geiger tube and its high voltage circuitry. That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a ...

opening the possibility that the gamma ray burst it would unleash upon exploding could barrage our planet with deadly radiation in the not-so-distant — on a cosmic scale, at least — future.

Gamma rays are created throughout the universe in violent explosions. On Earth, they originate from the decay of radioactive elements and within particle accelerators, which are devices that smash ...

and they emit most of their energy as gamma rays. View a video of gamma ray bursts from Seeing in the Dark Gamma rays belong to the same family as light, x-rays, and the radio waves that travel ...

By measuring natural gamma radiation levels in tandem with state-of-the-art analytical techniques and data from the Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) Tellus aerial survey of the entire country ...

Gamma sterilization from cobalt-60 sources has two great virtues: simplicity and reliability. Accelerators also have advantages: the fact that only electricity is needed to power them and the ...

RHYL saw the biggest increase in ambient gamma radiation in Wales in January, a new study has found. This follows new data released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, which showed ...

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 ...
