For the first time, researchers have managed to create gamma rays bursts under lab conditions. The effort is important and marks an important step to understand a mysterious astronomical...
Gamma rays are the most energetic form of light in the universe. In outer space, these powerful explosions are caused by dying stars or feeding black holes. On Earth, the bursts often occur in...
The latest image released by NASA shows the heavily cratered surface of Saturn’s Moon Dione, lit from behind by the sun.The craters on Dione surface vary in size. However, the most prominent of them...
When computers crash or IPhones freeze up, manufacturers usually get the blame. But over the past few years, researchers have started to look at other possibilities and have found that another type...
