In January 2019, researchers detected gamma-ray burst (GRB) 190114C. They caught this quick explosion right in the act and observed the most energetic photons ever seen from a gamma-ray burst. This ...
Researchers from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences examined the validity of the theory of relativity with the highest accuracy in a study entitled "Exploring ...
There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...
In 2019, the MAGIC telescopes detected the first Gamma Ray Burst at very high energies. This was the most intense gamma-radiation ever obtained from such a cosmic object. But the GRB data have more to ...
A team of astronomers led by Matteo Cerruti of Paris Cité University reports multi-wavelength evidence for a repeating, ...
Racing across the universe for the last 7.3 billion years, two gamma-ray photons arrived at NASA’s orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope within nine-tenths of a second of one another. The dead-heat ...
