Gamma-ray measurement. By counting the rare gamma rays emitted during this reaction, researchers can now obtain valuable information about fusion power, independent of traditional neutron counting ...

Fornal and Grinstein determined that, in the simplest scenario, the hypothetical dark matter particle’s mass must fall between 937.9 and 938.8 mega-electron volts, and that a neutron decaying into ...

Astronomers have a found an innovative way to observe neutron ... It’s exciting that we’re able to start looking for and learning from them now using gamma-rays!” [Related: Why are big ...

This measurement, outlined in a paper published in Physical Review Letters, is the gamma-ray-to-neutron branching ratio in the deuterium-tritium reaction. "Our project started with ITER, ...

“We found that if a neutron star merger were to occur within around 36 light-years of Earth, the resulting radiation could cause an extinction-level event,” University of Illinois Urbana ...

Astronomers have discovered around 300 new gamma-ray-blasting pulsars, including several "spider pulsars" that devour the companion stars like black widows.

NASA artist’s conception illustrates the aftermath of a "kilonova," a powerful event that happens when two neutron stars merge. These events could decimate life on Earth if we were too close to one.

The Vela pulsar is one of the best-studied spinning neutron stars and is an example of the extreme nature of these objects. Created in a supernova around 10,000 years ago, the neutron star has a ...

Recently, the ESS was contacted by a European semiconductor manufacturer interested in the radiation fields the neutron source can generate. The world we live in is constantly bombarded with neutrons, ...
