Astrophysicists have solved a mystery that led some scientists to speculate that the distribution of certain gamma rays in our Milky Way galaxy was evidence of a form of undetectable "dark matter" ...

Prof. An Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel ...

Back in 2009, gamma-ray data from the Fermi-Large Area Telescope revealed an unexplained, apparently diffuse, signal from the center of the Milky Way. The origin of this “Galactic Center Excess” has ...

Dec. 12 (UPI) --New analysis by astrophysicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests dark matter could explain a mysterious source of gamma rays in the center of the Milky Way. Gamma ...

A Northwestern University-led team of astrophysicists has developed the first-ever full 3D simulation of an entire evolution of a jet formed by a collapsing star, or a “collapsar.” Because these jets ...

This type of radiation occurs, for example, when mass is converted into energy during fission reactions that run nuclear reactors on Earth. However, in the case of black holes, gamma radiation is even ...

MYSTERIOUS emissions of gamma rays at the heart of our galaxy could be a clue that some of the universe’s dark matter takes the form of exotic stars made of invisible “mirror matter”. The existence of ...

Neuroscientists lay out the the few knowns and many unknowns that must be understood to determine why sensory stimuluation of 40Hz brain rhythms have broad effects, particularly in Alzheimer's models.

Old and fast spinning neutron stars called millisecond pulsars could be responsible for an unexplained signal from the center of our Milky Way, reports a team of astrophysicists in a new study ...
