15-11-18 Researchers using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have discovered the first gamma-ray pulsar in a galaxy other than our own. The object sets a new record for the most luminous gamma-ray pulsar known. The pulsar lies in the outskirts of the Ta...

14-07-30 When you're expecting something -- like the meal you've ordered at a restaurant -- or when something captures your interest, unique electrical rhythms sweep through your brain. These waves are called gamma oscillations（振动） and they reflect a sym...

12-08-14 Gamma-ray photons（光子） seen emanating（放射） from the center of the Milky Way galaxy are consistent with the intriguing（有趣的） possibility that dark-matter particles are annihilating（消灭） each other in space, according to research submitte...

12-02-01 A team of researchers led by Michigan State University has discovered an overachieving plant enzyme that works both the day and night shifts. The discovery, featured in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academies of Science, shows tha...

11-09-20 The brightest gamma ray beam ever created -- more than a thousand billion times more brilliant than the sun -- has been produced in research led at the University of Strathclyde, and could open up new possibilities for medicine. Physicists have disc...

10-08-13 Astronomers using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected gamma-rays from a nova（新星） for the first time, a finding that stunned（震惊） observers and theorists alike. The discovery overturns the notion that novae explosions lack the...

09-10-29 Racing across the universe for the last 7.3 billion years, two gamma-ray photons（光子，光量子） arrived at NASA's orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope within nine-tenths of a second of one another. The dead-heat finish may stoke the fires of de...
