Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are some of the most energetic events in the universe, releasing more energy in just a few ...

An international research collaboration between the University of Vienna and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States has used machine learning to re-examine one of the most debated ...

Machine learning algorithms have increasingly become integral to gamma-ray spectroscopy, enabling automated feature extraction, classification and quantitative analysis from complex spectral data.

A new generation of gamma-ray detector known as AstroPix will fly aboard the agency’s Fly Foundational Robots mission, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, scientists have been searching for direct evidence of dark matter—one of the key missing pieces of our theoretical ...

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Astronomers are trying to understand what caused a series of gamma ray bursts, or GRBs — the most powerful explosions in the universe. These energetic bursts are typically unleashed by the incendiary ...
