How do scientists use half-lives of different isotopes to date various types of materials? What is artificial radioactivity? How are gamma rays produced? How are half-lives used in radioactive dating? Who discovered radioactive isotopes?
PET detects the gamma rays given off at the site where a positron emitted from the radioactive substance collides with an electron in the tissue (Figure 1). In a PET scan, the patient is injected with a radioactive substance and placed on a flat table that moves in increments through a ...
How could a gamma-ray burst cause a mass extinction? How do scientists apply emission spectra? How was the proton discovered? How do protons change in alpha radiation? How are gamma rays detected? How was carbon-14 discovered? How are gamma rays produced artificially?
In the study of X-rays and gamma-rays up to the TeV regime, their absorption by the atmosphere (by 50% at 30 km altitude for 1 MeV photon) requires the development of space applications. The science goals of the mission define which technological benchmark should be maximised (e.g. ...
X-rays: X-rays are very high-energy light waves. We're most familiar with their use in a doctor's office, but X-rays also naturally occur in space. But don't worry, X-rays can't penetrate from outer space to the Earth's surface. Read more in How X-rays Work. Gamma rays: Gamm...
Gamma rays and cosmic rays are high-energy particles and radiation that originate from various sources in the universe, such as supernovae, black holes and even the Big Bang itself. Scientiststheorizethat antimatter should be as abundant as ordinary matter because of the Big Bang, but it's sc...

Gamma rays create Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World, but how do they work in the real world? Win a chance to see a SpaceX rocket launch thanks to Bethesda, creators of 'Starfield' Scientists detect highest-energy ghost particle ever seen — where did it come from? February's...
In the context of this symbiosis we discuss the interactions of GeV and TeV gamma-rays produced in the jet with the infrared radiation fields external to the jet in quasars and blazars, taking account the anisotropy of the radiation. We also review what kind of torus geometry would fit ...
Our first stop is the ancient world, where some of the earliest scientists and philosophers pondered the true nature of this mysterious substance that stimulates sight and makes things visible.Contents What Is Light? Light as Rays Light as Waves Light Frequencies Light as Particles Wave-...
