The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...

The radiation detection landscape in 2026 is defined by a paradox: as proportional counters and smart sensors become more ubiquitous and integrated with AI, the fundamental physics of deadtime and ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new discovery in space science. The first burst was discovered in the late 1960s. You might be wondering ...

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF). Researchers at the University of Osaka ...

Recent developments in radiation detection highlight advances in calibration accuracy, simplified measurement methods, portable FPGA + SoC-based systems, and AI + IoT integration. At the same time, ...

A multi-sensor detection of an intense gamma-ray flash, which occurs when two lightning leaders collided, has been observed. Observations across a wide radiation spectrum enabled precise measurement ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...

The LHAASO observatory has detected gamma rays above 100 TeV from a gamma-ray binary for the first time, challenging current ...
