Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Until, that is, we launched the Compton gamma-ray observatory, capable ...

Detection of X-ray emission at a location coincident with the kilonova transient of the gravitational-wave event GW170817 provides the missing observational link between short gamma-ray bursts and ...

Scientists have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever from a dead star called a pulsar. The energy of these gamma rays clocked in at 20 tera-electronvolts, or about ten trillion times the energy ...

NASA's Fermi telescope was able to pick up gamma rays near a black hole merger associated with gravitational waves, scientists have found. In September 2015, experts were able to detect energy waves ...

In the universe, a few rules govern phenomena, from the Fibonacci sequence to the morphogenesis of figures created by various waves. If we think the universe was created by the random impact of atoms, ...
