Even elsewhere in the Milky Way, at greater distances, the radiation could still sterilize half of all life on Earth. Fortunately, astronomers think that the chances of a gamma ray burst happening in ...

Single-use systems for bioprocessing rely on components that must be sterilized. Currently, gamma irradiation is used, but X-rays could be a better choice. Recently, Adam Grzelak, PhD, senior ...

Dublin, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Sterilization Services Market by Method (Electron Beam, EtO, Steam, Gamma, X-Ray, Hydrogen Peroxide), Type (Contract Sterilization, Validation ...

Gamma-ray bursts weren’t discovered until the 1960s ... if it’s directed through the plane of the galaxy, it could basically sterilize about 10 percent of the planets in the galaxy.

The compact design of Fermilab’s electron beam prototype accelerator for sterilizing medical equipment is made possible by combining four emerging particle accelerator technologies. During the ...

Such events are known as gamma ray bursts, and astronomers who have continued studying this one said it was the “brightest of all time.” Now, a team of scientists have discovered that this ...

The bright flash of gamma-ray light was first detected by NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory on October 19, 2019. The explosion lasted just over a minute — considered long, like any gamma ...
