Armed with sensors to measure gamma rays, lightning flashes and microwave emissions, the team conducted 10 flights over storm clouds in the Caribbean and Central America, at an altitude of 20 km ...

The Beta Gamma Sigma Chapter at Rutgers Business School-New Brunswick received another national distinction, earning highest honors for its activities and engagement during the academic year. The ...

The new findings bring storm researchers one step closer to solving the mystery of how lightning forms Rudy Molinek Mass Media Fellow, AAAS An artist's rendering of gamma-ray glows observed during ...

The team used a NASA-owned spy plane to fly above tropical thunderstorms and take a gander that the gamma radiation from the storms. The plane—an ER-2, a modified version of Lockheed Martin’s ...

Today Apple has released new beta updates, but not perhaps for the platforms we were all hoping for. Developer beta 3 is now available for visionOS 2.1, watchOS 11.1, and tvOS 18.1. However ...

Their findings revealed that thunderstorms produce gamma radiation far more often than previously thought, and the mechanisms behind this radiation remain full of unanswered questions.

Thunderstorms create a lot of wind, rain, and lightning, but many people aren’t necessarily aware of another common byproduct: gamma radiation. Thanks to a creative retrofit of an old U-2 spy ...

Thunderstorms are far more radioactive than previously thought, routinely producing gamma rays—the highest-energy form of electromagnetic radiation typically associated with supernovas and other ...

A view from a retrofitted spy plane soaring at 20 kilometers up revealed storms glowing and flickering in gamma rays, high-energy light invisible to the eye. Ten flights with the plane ...

In the 1990s, NASA satellites built to spot high-energy particles coming from supernovae and other celestial-sized objects discovered a surprise—high energy gamma radiation bursts coming from ...

In the 1990s, NASA scientists got an unexpected surprise. While scanning the cosmos for high-energy gamma radiation bursts from supernovas and black holes, they stumbled upon a curious finding.

Large thunderstorms produce so much gamma radiation that the clouds are actually glowing with it, according to a recent study, which used NASA’s ER-2 research plane to study gamma rays in ...
