Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit regular radio wave pulses and beams of magnetic radiation, which can ...

HAWC Observatory researchers reveal TeV halos as universal features of middle-aged pulsars, offering new insights into gamma-ray emissions and pulsar detection.

NTNU researchers may have found the answer to one of the big, unanswered questions in physics. The universe is full of ...

Lightning is a phenomenon that has fascinated humanity since time immemorial, providing a stark example of the power and ...

Thunderstorms are known to generate gamma rays, the highest energy radiation on Earth. But pinning the burst to a specific bolt is new.

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 between a radio station and your car radio.

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a ...

Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths of all EM waves. Radio waves have wavelengths ranging from thousands ...

Electromagnetic radiation is the general term for the more familiar light and radio waves, but also includes gamma rays, x rays, ultraviolet rays, and infrared. All of these forms of electromagnetic ...

While they are most commonly detected as brief bursts of radio waves, some pulsars can also be observed in optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray wavelengths. Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars (XRPs ...

Here's a tour that begins with radio waves and takes you through microwaves, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, and X-rays. The tour ends with gamma rays, the potentially deadly ...
