The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope "detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light" from a nearby supernova. NASA explains. Credit: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center ...

Alpha and beta radiation are not strong enough to penetrate solid material, but the high energy and high-frequency wavelength of gamma waves radiate through material in the beam's path. When a gamma ...

The thicker the substance, the more the radiation is absorbed. Alpha, beta and gamma radiations penetrate materials in different ways. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating. It can be stopped ...

If you would like to learn more about the IAEA’s work, sign up for our weekly updates containing our ... thermal radiative cross-section (total and partial), Westcott g-factors, energy of the gamma ...

It does this by emitting a high energy electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray. Gamma radiation does not consist of particles but as short wavelength, high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted ...

Irish researches have created a unique approach involving gamma rays to find more peat soil spread throughout the country.

The same result is obtained when studying the pulse-height from the gamma-rays emitted by different substances. There is, in this case, a continuous distribution of pulses from zero to a certain ...
