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 ...

From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action between particles that have an electric charge) surround us. But did you know that there's ...

All forms of electromagnetic radiation, whether they're called waves or rays, are generated by particles in motion. In a radio signal, for example, negatively charged electrons quickly move back ...

Called electromagnetic radiation, such waves travel at the speed of light and bring us almost all the information we have about the universe. Gamma rays are much shorter in wavelength than visible ...

It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, (visible) light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. All of these waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Classically, electromagnetic ...

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Jamie Carter is an award-winning reporter who covers the night sky. A massive burst of gamma rays produced by the explosion of a star ...

Changes in atoms and their nuclei can cause electromagnetic waves to be generated or absorbed. Gamma rays are produced by changes in the nucleus of an atom. They are a form of nuclear radiation.

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

Figure caption, Each region of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum has a range of wavelengths associated with it. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths.

Gamma radiation is one of the types of electromagnetic radiation produced during nuclear fission—the process that happens inside a nuclear reactor—and gamma rays carry information about the ...

Jets launched by astrophysical sources from our own intra-galactic "backyard" are also sources of gamma photons of extremely ...
