Scientists are investigating enigmatic phenomena observed in the center of our galaxy. Telescopes are detecting mysterious ...

Astronomers have long been puzzled by two strange phenomena at the heart of our galaxy. First, the gas in the central ...

the platinum catalyzes a reaction that ionizes the gas. Ionization breaks the hydrogen atom down into its positive ions (hydrogen protons) and negative ions (electrons). Both types of ions are ...

GS-z13-1, marks the earliest sign yet spotted of the era of cosmic reionization at 330 million years after the Big Bang.

"The biggest problem this model helps solve is an excess of ionization in the CMZ," Balaji told Space.com. "Cosmic rays, the usual culprits for ionizing gas, don't seem to be strong enough to ...

It describes options and how to calibrate plane parallel ionization chambers, against air kerma or absorbed dose to water standards at cobalt-60 gamma ray energies. The use of these chambers to ...
