The Sun’s most violent flares are turning out to be even more extreme than I, or many solar physicists, had imagined. By ...

Gamma. Unless you're talking about Bruce Banner, it's probably not high on the list of interesting things. In fact, in this context, we're not even talking about the highest-energy form of light.

Heat-resilient biofertilizers could help crops cope with rising temperatures but engineering them has been slow and uncertain ...

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have contributed to new insights into the most long-lived cosmic explosion ever recorded. The event was a gamma-ray burst that remained ...

These cosmic explosions are so powerful that they could sterilize all life on Earth — or even vaporize the planet. Luckily, the chances of one happening in our solar system are slim. Gamma rays are ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film version of ...

Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...
