Highly energetic explosions in the sky are commonly attributed to gamma-ray bursts. We now understand that these bursts ...

One of those detections was EP240408a, an unusual blast that lit up discussions between astronomers. Zhang and his colleagues ...

A newly detected cosmic explosion, EP240408a, could be the result of a white dwarf's death, creating a high-speed jet. It ...

Was a powerful cosmic explosion seen by the Einstein Probe launched by a supermassive black hole snacking on a star, by a ...

Our home planet is bombarded with particles from outer space all the time. And while we are mostly familiar with the rocky meteorites originating from within our solar system that create fascinating ...

Scientists discover low-mass microquasars can accelerate cosmic rays, reshaping theories on high-energy particle origins.

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle ...

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle accelerators, which leads to a significant impact on the interpretation of the ...

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...

The highly energetic explosion was initially attributed to a burst of gamma rays emitted either by the collision of two neutron stars or from the death of a massive star. Soon, however ...

An illustration shows a gamma-ray burst erupting from a dying massive star. (Image credit: Robert Lea (created by Canva)) First detected in 1967, gamma-ray bursts may be much more familiar to ...
