Using the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia, scientists have detected exceptionally high-energy gamma rays from the Vela pulsar, challenging established theories on pulsed gamma rays from…
The fast shockwaves form an hourglass shape as they expand, in which gamma rays are produced. This gamma-ray emission is then detected by the H.E.S.S.…
The palladium nanoparticles (green) are stabilised by a core of iridium (red). Hydrogen can accumulate on their surface like a kind of chocolate glaze –…
