Get up to speed on gamma rays, the radiation responsible for creating the Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World.

Astronomers are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year.

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

The event is designated EP240408a, as it was first detected by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on 8 April 2024.

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

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 ...

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